Mannofield Tram Depot
A photograph looking east showing a tram and staff outside Mannofield Tram Depot in around 1905.

At the time of this photograph, Mannofield was still a peaceful suburban village. Great Western Road was the main thoroughfare west from the city. The trams had the road mostly to themselves.

Aberdeen Corporation had a small depot opposite Mannofield Church. The individuals in the photograph were possibly the full compliment of crew who had been trained and were now ready to manage the new stretch of the Deeside Route from Mannofield to Bieldside.

The official opening of that line took place on Thursday 23rd June 1904, with the line opening to the public immediately afterwards.

In this image, the depot on Great Western Road is on the right and the junction of Duthie Terrace can be partially seen in the background.
