The Provincial Tramways Company
The Provincial Tramways Company was a holding company for horse tramway companies in various regional towns of England. It was floated in July 1872 by means of a prospectus inviting public subscription for shares in the new company.〔'The Times (London, England), Tuesday, Jul 16, 1872; pg. 13; Issue 27430.〕 The published prospectus lists the towns where it was proposed to operate horse tramways as Plymouth. Cardiff, Dundee. Portsmouth. Southampton and Tynemouth. Initially those in Plymouth and Cardiff were constructed and in operation as reported to the half yearly meeting of the company in 1873.〔The Morning Post (London, England), Thursday, April 03, 1873; pg. 7; Issue 31437.〕
The company failed to open tramways in Dundee, Southampton or Tynemouth but in 1874 a tramway was started in Portsmouth then in 1881 a tramway was started in Grimsby and in 1886 a tramway was opened in Gosport. The registered office of this company was always located in London even after 1936 when its operations were reduced to just the bus services of the Gosport and Fareham Omnibus Company.
The principal towns where subsidiary tramway companies were owned by The Provincial Tramways Company were as follows:-
==Plymouth==
Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport Tramways Company had started a single horse tramway line between the 3 towns in 1872 this tramway was the first one to be authorized under the provisions of the Tramways Act 1870 which was used to authorize so many later tramway schemes and provided for their municipilization after 21 years.〔The Golden Age of Tramways, Charles Klapper 1961 pg181〕 This tramway was taken over and electrified by the council in 1902 but the company continued to operate the trams under a lease arrangement until 1922. It was also operating horse buses and later motor buses throughout this period.〔The Trams of Plymouth Langley and Small 1990 chaps 1,6〕
