The Age of the Tram was quite short lived in Britain, with few cities maintaining their historic tramways these days. Blackpool in Lancashire is an exception though, and there is one tram in particular that has a very odd history. join me in this video where I explore the haunted history of Blackpool 703, also known as Sunderland 101.

The Jolly Reiver is my project aiming to preserve and promote the forgotten folklore and history of rural Britain and Ireland. Primarily focusing on folklore and legends, you’ll not find me trying to deconstruct these old stories or trying to rationalise them with science and psychology. Instead I will present them as they were always told by our forebears, and leave the conclusions up to you. Videos are filmed on location to show you exactly where these stories took place.
