Opening ceremony of Volk’s Electric Railway, 3 August 1883. This was the first public electric railway in England and at first it extended only about 400 yards from the Aquarium to the Old Chain Pier. Soon afterwards it was extended to Paston Place and in 1901, after the abandonment of the “Daddy Longlegs”, from there to Black Rock.
