Ryde's tramway pier. 'A second 'tramway' pier was built next to the first, opening on 29 August 1864. Horse-drawn trams took passengers from the pier head to the esplanade. Before construction of the railway pier, the tramway continued to Ryde railway station at St John's Road. From 1886 to 1927 the trams were powered by electricity from a third rail, and from then until 1969 were petrol-powered.' Wikipedia: Ryde Pier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryde_Pier '
