Another view of this excellently preserved and restored 'Roberts' tram that ran in Sheffield. The 'Jubilee' car was built at the Queens Road Depot at Sheffield while the series cars were built at Horbury (near Wakefield) by Charles Roberts (hence the name 'Roberts Cars') between 1950 - 52.

One of the most modern trams in the UK, excluding light rail and the 'Supertram' systems. These 'Robert' bodied trams graced Sheffield for several years, and this example led the final farewell paraded when the system closed. For the special occasion the tram was specially repainted and this has been faithfully preserved.

Sheffield tram number 510, only 10 years old when withdrawn from service

streets of Sheffield in the form of the new Supertram system.
