United Electric Car Company

The United Electric Car Company was a tramcar manufacturer from 1905 to 1917 in Preston, Lancashire, England.

This double decker tram was originally built in 1909 for Wolverhampton Corporation Tramways.

It is a typical Edwardian tramcar with an ornate lower saloon and open upper deck with traverse seating.

Originally equipped with the Lorain system taking its power supply from studs in the road, it was later converted to run from overhead wires.

Preserved in 1976, the tram was painstakingly restored by the Black Country Museum Transport Group over many years and completed in 2004.
