Cardiff horse tram no. 21

Falcon Works

Cardiff horse-tram No. 21. Double deck with yellow and maroon bodywork. The tram was built by the Falcon Works, Loughborough in the 1880s and run by Cardiff Tramways Co. When the Cardiff Tramways Company was taken over by the City in 1902 the routes were electrified and the horse-tram was sold to the Cardiff Ladies Temperance Guild and used in the Docks as a snack-bar selling non-alcoholic beverages. About 1930 ownership passed to Mrs Elizabeth Leach of Tremorfa who ran it as 'Walters'Tavern' and in due course this ladies daughter, Mrs Walters, took it over. In 1955 her brother Mr Ekstrom (see P80.377), took it over and ran it for a further ten years until it closed in 1966. It was removed in Summer 1968.
