1871 Ryde Pier Tramway Extension 150 150 Isle of Wight Steam Railway

For some years there had been considerable inconvenience to visitors travelling between Ryde Pier and the station at Ryde St John’s Road. The tramway was extended in 1870, along the Esplanade and across a number of streets to the railway station. This extension was short lived and closed on 5th April 1880.
