Maidstone Corporation Tramways operated a tramway service in Maidstone between 1904 and 1930.[1]
History
Maidstone Corporation began operation on 14 July 1904 with the introduction of a tram service to Barming, supplemented by routes to Loose and Tovil by 1907.[2]
The company depot and offices were located on the north side of Tonbridge Road, about 50 metres east of its junction with Queens Road at TQ 7372 5510, and a tramshed with a capacity of four tramcars was located near Pickering Street in Loose at TQ 7630 5270.[2]
Closure
The tramway service closed on 11 February 1930 as part of a programme of conversion to trolleybus operation. Tramcar 18 survives and is in storage in Dover awaiting restoration.[3]
