It is Friday 30th October 1953 and it is raining in Derwent Street as tram 63 makes its way towards Stockton Road as it works the Circle route. The outward bound service originally ran through Vine Place but this was too narrow for two tracks so the track was diverted through Derwent St and Mary St before rejoining the main route at the Star Hotel in New Durham Road. Information from Len Charlton and Malcolm Fraser.
