Tramway to Tramway!!

As soon as we crossed the cobbles through the rear entrance to The Hidden Garden we noticed the metal rails fixed fast into the ground and watched as they snaked their way through towards the green space beyond. Around the corner of the far away wall burst into view a sea of green, coloured flowers, shapes and textures and to top it off an array of people from throughout our communities. Again we walked and talked, asking questions with Rhona always on hand and ready to offer any answer and advice. Leaving The Hidden Garden we made our way to the Riverside Museum and the image of Trams and the Industrial Age fixed firmly in our minds! The first thing we came into contact with was the tram and horse pictured above and the images of the horses housed 'Upstairs' in the Tramway crashed into our imaginations. One of us had asked why the horses had been stabled upstairs and we learned together of the weight of horses compared to the hulking weight of the trams!!! We made our way around the fantastic Riverside Museum looking at the many forms of transport, asking how they impacted our green spaces and our lives. However before long it was time to leave and we said goodbye to another learning adventure!!!
