East Anglia Transport Museum (2)

Sheffield 510 and 513 were the two official last trams in Sheffield in 1960. 510 was immediately moved to Crich and was stored under cover from March 1961 whereas 513 has had a much more varied existance in the last 50 years. However I think it has now found a good home where it will be respected and cared for.
