Old Sarum Tramway

These tramlines were at Old Sarum, going past St Margaret Chapel (St Nicholas’ Chapel was above it). The tramway was built to remove the spoil from the 1909-1915 excavations. *

This lantern slide was taken by Lt-Col W Hawley and published in the Old Sarum Excavation Fund Report of the Excavation Committee to the Society of Antiquaries for 1909 and 1910 (W.H St John Hope and W Hawley, published by the Society in 1911). The accounts for 1910 showed that £113 11s 3d was spent on the tramways.
