Number 81 would have been just left of the Wesleyan Chapel. The Glossop Tramway ran for 24 years from 1903 to 1927, a single-track 4½ mile line running from Hadfield Station, weaving around a number of mills to terminate outside the Queens Arms in Old Glossop. It thought that the tram pictured would have been maroon and cream.
