A very animated image of the White Cross with a tram on Otley Road (A65) it has a large group of people around it, this was the terminus of the tram service from Leeds, the large building just behind the tram was the tram shed.

Fields behind the Wetherby Whaler restaurant, could this possibly be a proposed future site for housing?

The picture is most interesting. The tram is standing at the very end of the tram lines. The overhead wiring in the foreground is for the trolleybuses (1915 – 1928) from White Cross to Burley and to Otley. These dreadful vehicles never paid properly and must have been torture to ride on, the roads being poor in those days. When in the depot they had their own parking positions against the Bradford Road wall of the building.
