Local Transport History: Leicester Corporation Transport 1901-1986
Language: English.

"The Leicester Tramways Order of 1873 authorised the construction of the city’s first tramway, running from the Clock Tower, northward via Belgrave Gate, Belgrave Road and Loughborough Road to the Folly Inn at Belgrave (already served by a horse bus service, introduced by the Cardiff entrepreneur, Solomon Andrews, in 1863, along with a service to Stoneygate)."

University of Leicester: Trams
Language: English.

"In 1874 the Leicester Tramways Company Limited was formed. The first trams were horse-drawn, but the electricification of the system in 1904 allowed for a broader network that opened up the far reaches of the town. This enabled cheap transport in from the suburbs and encouraged the development of housing on the edges of the town."

In April 2013, the Foundation signed a lease with Leicester City Council for the former Edwardian tram depot at 453 London Road, Stoneygate, Leicester. The plan is to seek funding to preserve the building and convert it into a local transport heritage and research center."
