Beamish Open Air Museum
Sheffield Corporation No.264 at Beamish on 17th June 2018. This was one of 24 sleek balcony cars delivered to Sheffield by the United Electric Car Company of Preston in 1907, rebuilt in 1926 with a fully enclosed upper deck. In 1938 it was renumbered 342 and relegated to peak hour only services, surviving until 1956. It was exhibited in the former London Transport Museum at Clapham until 1967 when it was removed to the Consett Iron Company. It arrived at Beamish in December 1973, re-converted to open top and worked in this form until 1985 when withdrawn for reconstruction to its original Sheffield appearance, returning to service in 1987.
