In fact it was 1949. I got this from the book 'Blackburn Tram Rides' by Jim Halsall which I published.
Going on the tram from t'Commercial to Blackburn on a Sunday morning with my grandad is one of my earliest memories.This would be about 1944/5. I sat upstairs in the front seats, which were made of wooden slats and got off at the bottom of Eanam near the horse trough. The trams were green and cream. The lines did not link up with the Accrington ones running from Market St into Blackburn Rd at the other side of the Commercial cross roads. Accrington's trams finished in 1931.
