Stoneywood Church can be see on the left of this image and Bankhead Road is in the centre.
Station Road runs north from the church. The railway line can be seen on the far right. Bankhead Station once stood on the opposite end of this street from the church.
In the distance on the right, popping above the tree line, can be seen the top of Waterton School. The façade of the central part of this building is inscribed with the date of 1864.

(Many thanks to Dr Mike Mitchell for this information.) Tramcar 6 at Bankhead terminus
1143 Tramcar 6 stands at Bankhead terminus, said to be the most northerly point on any British street tramway. The driver is seen on the right, with his conductor on the left. The obligatory small boy is also ghosting into view on the right. As is still the cast today, public transport was seen as a very good advertising medium. In this instance can be noted the importance of Coleman's Mustard and the excellence of Brand's Essence of Beef. |
