Manchester, Bury, Rochdale and Oldham Tramway Biography Biography
Steam powered tramway covering areas to the north and east of Manchester, which opened in 1883. The line never reached Manchester, as the permission to cross the existing horse tramways could not be obtained. Following completion in 1884, for a time the company operated the largest steam tramway in the world at 33.25 miles. The company went bankrupt in c1887.
