| This was once a bridge which carried Victoria Road over the old tramway which carried coal down from Victoria Pit to the Canal Basin and on to waiting barges. The Wood Street War Memorial now stands on what was once a deep cutting down which the tramway descended from Dewsnap Lane. This section of the tramway became disused after the railway was built in 1885 and the cutting was filled in to make Wood Street. The cutting below the bridge can clearly be seen in this photograph which was taken in 1953. The bridge under the road was used as an air raid shelter during WW11. Mrs Wright was the warden of the shelter.

| In 1885 when the railway was built it severed the old tramway which carried coal down from Victoria Pit to a Canal Basin and into barges. These siding were then built and the tramway was diverted alongside on a raised platform so that coal could then be tipped into railway wagons.
The stone platform edge can still be seen in the gardens of several houses recently built on the land where the sidings once stood. |
