February Heritage Weekend

Balloon 715 heading south near the Imperial Hotel

Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours held a Vintage Weekend on February 19th & 20th. Saturday morning saw a snow blizzard for a short while, permitting shots of trams in the snow, however the snow soon thawed and by the afternoon glorious blue skies were the order of the day. Green and cream trams dominated the days output, and as the weather on Sunday was dull, wet and very windy, all the shots here were taken on the Saturday.
