The first of Gisborne's ill-fated Edison battery trams, seen in Gladstone Road. For ten years from 1913 trams ran on the main street, from the Post Office to Stanley Road. In 1923 the Ormond Road line was opened. Capital expenditure on four trams, lines, etc. was about £60,000. The enterprise never showed a profit, and in 1929 was scrapped. Picture from J. W. McCullough, 88 Cobden Street.
