LINE 2 On July 24th 1882 The Plymouth, Devonport & District Tramways Act received the Royal Assent. The Act authorised the construction of seven tramways in Plymouth and Devonport, of which line 2 would start at the end of line 1 in Russell Street but run eastwards along Cornwall Street, East Street, across Old Town Street into Treville Street, then along Exeter Street and Embankment Road to Laira where it would cross the Great Western Railway. It would then continue along the Exeter Road and terminate in the yard of the Plymouth Inn in the Ridgeway. This route was 4½ miles long. |
