Two Blackpool Metro Trams Find a New Home

For a true taste of Blackpool Metro heritage, you can visit the two historic trams now located at Brickhouse Farm Cottages, a family-operated holiday retreat dedicated to accessibility and inclusivity. The Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust had been seeking to find new homes for their trams for some time. While many were dismantled for parts, set 3 was fortunate to be preserved at Brickhouse Farm Cottages in Hambleton. On 6 December 2023, the final two 1930s Fylde Coast trams were saved from what has locally become known as ‘the tram graveyard’. According to a Facebook post, the trams, which were the last to leave Wyre Dock, will be lovingly restored to their original condition and will play a key role in creating a unique space at the site. The team at Brickhouse Farm respectfully requests that visitors refrain from exploring or tampering with the trams during the restoration process, acknowledging their significant role in the area’s heritage.
