Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

This was the area that witnessed the London United Tramway's early trolleybus routes as well as operations of Croydon Corporation. Although many of the routes were to be converted before the outbreak of war in September 1939, a number were to survive right through until the final conversion of the system between 1950 and 1952.
