Summerlee Heritage Centre
Glasgow Corporation No.1017 working on the tramway at the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life at Coatbridge, on 26th July 2017. This tram was originally built as open-top double-decker No.17 for Paisley Corporation Tramways in 1904. The system was taken over by Glasgow Corporation Tramways in 1923 and in 1925 No.17 was rebuilt as an enclosed single-decker and renumbered 1017. It continued in service until 1960, latterly as a training car. Discovered some years later in a garden at Cambuslang, it arrived at Summerlee in 1991 where a full restoration took place and 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of its re-entry into service. (The Summerlee Museum occupies the site of the former Summerlee Iron Works that lasted for 90 years from 1836 to 1926.)
