Sorry for the delayed response, I've just seen this. The Tramcar was still in existence and trading at least into the seventies.

There are a few pictures of it in various books. Can't remember off hand which books but I can find out if you want to get hold of some.

If it saves AKADOK searching, I have found one book that has a couple of pictures of the 'Tram Car' in it (both the same but one a close up), It is 'Where Sparrows Coughed', the author was; Frank Hartley and it was published by; Sheaf Publishing, the book I have was printed around 1988 so I don't know if it will still be in print.

I have a book called "101 Pictures Of Lost Sheffield Pubs".

The page for The Tramcar has one picture and the following text "The Tramcar - 851 Attercliffe Road, a well known pub and appropriately named as Sheffield had the finest electric tram system in the world"

They sound like the ones I have. The Lost Pubs one is by JP Turley. Both are dead good, but might now be out of print. If you can't find either one minusten, drop us a PM with your postal address and I'll sort you out with one or the other, free and for nowt.

There is a good picture on this web page (picture 202) two thirds of the way down the page on the right hand side.
