Title: Return of Lee Moor Tramway? Post by: Plymboi on April 23, 2013, 21:00:09 Whilst randomly reading an article about the plym valley online, I discovered a quote which stood out to me. Regarding reinstatement of the lee moor tramway. Whilst I have never heard of it before today it's interesting to watch.
Quote Ideas that could be developed include: Restoring heritage features such as the Lee Moor Tramway. Restoring lost gardens and features such as The Happy Valley at Saltram and Boringdon Arch Improving access into the valley from surrounding neighbourhoods such as Efford, Estover, Plympton St Maurice and Plymstock as well as the new communities planned at Plymstock Quarry and Sherford Market and promote the valley. http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/3million-project-bring-Plym-Valley-Plymouth-life/story-18779975-detail/story.html#ixzz2RJmepR2p What route did this tramway take, and I wonder how it could be brought back for the 21st century.
