double deck horse tram, Christchurch

 

As presented in the Ferrymead Historic Park.  According to the info on the back of this postcard, this was built in the mid-1880s by a local builder, copying the design of John Stephenson and Company tramcar builders of New York. It was acquired by the Christchurch Tramway Board in 1905; 60 years later ownership transferred to the Tramway Historical Society who restored it twice.
