'Turnback Tuesday' highlights electric trolley car in downtown Derby
Turnback Tuesday reminds us of the first electric trolley. Col. H. Holton Wood (Derby Public Library benefactor) was also involved in bringing the first electric trolley in New England to Derby in 1888. This postcard shows the Shelton, Pine Beach Park, Stratford, and Bridgeport line trolley most likely coming from Transfer Point heading towards Shelton.
If you look closely in the back of the photo on the right, you can see the ever-famous, green Howard & Barber sign. The trolley is about to head over Bridge Street into Shelton.
Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
