Rachel told us the Stoneygate Tram Depot was open as part of Heritage Open, so we went. The open day included a vintage bus ride, which was bumpy but fun.
We came back to look in the tram pit. They explained that tram does not need a turntable and even electric tram was available, that domestic electricity was still in its infancy, hence gas lamps.
There were so many artefacts featuring the City of Leicester coat of arms, but only one volunteer could explain the wyvern and the cinquefoil. And the motto "Semper Eadem" means always the same.
It is good to learn something new.
