Synopsis

The Hill of Howth trams were the last electric trams in Ireland and the last "open toppers" to operate in these islands. There can have been few pleasures to compare with sitting on the open top deck of a Howth tram, enjoying the sea air. This is a loving tribute to these fondly remembered cars. The book includes much of the local history of the author's native Howth peninsula, and describes the history of the Clontarf and Hill of Howth Tramroad, which connected the peninsula to Dublin.
