Wanted Kinver Light Railway Postcards

Post by Wheeltapper »

The Kinver Light Railway was a Tram system in Staffordshire , UK in existance from 1900 to 1930 . It was a very popular and in fact only method of transport for many workers who were employed and lived in the Black Country and the Midlands who wanted to get out from the dirt and grime to the countryside at weekends or holiday periods . It was not unknown for upto 14000 passengers a day to be transported on the line from Stourbridge to Kinver . Many other tram companies operated through day excursion trams using the line from as far away as Birmingham and Walsall .

As the line was so popular with early tourists it was also very popular with postcard companies and there were many different cards produced . I am slowly building up a collection of these cards but I know there are many I have yet to find . I am therefore interested in purchasing any cards depicting the line or street scenes showing trams taken in Stourbridge , Dudley , Amblecote , Wollaston , Stewponey , Hyde or Kinver.
