Blackett Street, Newcastle upon Tyne with Blackett's Post Office next to Grey's Monument, the site of New Eldon Shopping Centre. The horse drawn trams are on their way to Osborne Road and Byker. Operated by the Newcastle and Gosforth Tramways and Carriage Company. The tram cars were small four wheeled vehicles pulled by two horses with an extra tram horse for steep hills/gradients.
