Isle of Mann Horse Tram June 1999

Isle of Mann Horse Tram June 1999


A testimony to Victorian engineering and endurance, the Douglas Horse Trams have been in existence on the Isle of Man since 1876.
The trams were first introduced to take advantage of the booming tourist trade in Victorian times and to this day still carry tourists, and locals, along the promenades in the summer.
The three-foot gauge tramway is owned and operated by Douglas Borough Council and still runs with 21 original carriages including a special double deck tram.
