Postcard

Cup Final Celebration 1923

Postcard features one of the most famous tramcars in the history of public transport, and one possibly unique in its connection with the world of soccer. There must be a multitude of West Ham United supporters who have heard about it, but only those who are approaching their Centenary will remember it really well. Over 89 years have elapsed since this vehicle traversed the tramway routes of East London, the tram was decorated in 1923 to celebrate the Hammers reaching the first F.A. Cup Final at Wembley.

It was devised and designed by officials of the Tramways Department of the West Ham Corporation, and was based at the Greengate Street depot. From where it made its way around the main streets of the surrounding boroughs, and was a really splendid sight when it was illuminated after darkness had fallen. Shown here on a postcard issued by the London Borough of Newham at the time of the 1980 F.A. Cup Final against Arsenal.
