Johannesburg Tramways - A rare specialist item of city history

Post by Steve Appleton »

Ok, so not about real "railways" as such but rather about Johannesburg's old trams. They did run on rails so this item qualifies to be here in my view!
A comprehensive and very interesting review by Kathy Munro of a book entitled "Johannesburg's Tramways" authored by Tony Spit and Brian Patton. Read the review on The Heritage Portal at http://www.theheritageportal.co.za/revi ... ty-history.
