St Edwards Hospital tramway

[3] Brown's used a small 0-4-0 Tank engine called Weaver (Manning Wardle H-class 1072) to transport both men and materials to the construction site.

[2] Upon completion of the hospital in 1899, Staffordshire County Council took over the line and converted it to an electrically powered tramway, an overhead wire system was erected and the electricity, operated at 220 volt DC,[4] was supplied from the hospital boiler house.

[5] Once electrification work was completed, in 1903,[6] a new platform was constructed at Leek Brook station on the down (towards Leek) Churnet Valley line to allow passengers to alight from NSR trains and cross the platform to use the tramway to visit the hospital.

[7] From the platform at Leek Brook, the tramway swung to the right alongside the exchange sidings from the NSR.

[4] The line then proceeded by way of a switchback arrangement to terminate at the rear of the main hospital building.
