href="/wiki/Devonport,_Devon" class="mw-redirect" title="Devonport, Devon">Devonport</a> in Devon, England. The merger of the '<a href="/wiki/Three_Towns" title="Three Towns">Three Towns</a>' into the new borough of Plymouth in 1914 was the catalyst for the three companies to join up under the auspices of the new Plymouth Corporation. The network was closed in 1945, partly as a result of bomb damage during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. </p><p>The earliest of the three companies, the <b>Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport Tramway</b>, was the first tramway in the United Kingdom to be constructed under the provisions of the <a href="/wiki/Tramways_Act_1870" title="Tramways Act 1870">Tramways Act 1870</a> (<a href="/wiki/33_%26_34_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="33 & 34 Vict.">33 & 34 Vict.</a> c. 78).

The tramway was opened on 18 March 1872. Starting from Derry's Clock by the Theatre Royal in Plymouth, it ran along Union Street and passed under the railway viaduct before entering Stonehouse. It then crossed over the "Halfpenny Bridge" (a <a href="/wiki/Toll_bridge" title="Toll bridge">toll bridge</a> across a tidal creek) and entered Devonport. After climbing Devonport Hill it terminated at Cumberland Street. Two years later the line was extended beyond Cumberland Street along Chapel Street, Fore Street and Marlborough Street.

The tracks in Plymouth and Devonport were sold to the respective corporations and leased back to the tram company, but the section through Stonehouse remained in its ownership.

Established in 1898 by the <a href="/wiki/British_Electric_Traction" title="British Electric Traction">British Electric Traction</a> Group (BET), it started to operate services in 1901. Trams started from two places in Devonport: Fore Street (close to the Stonehouse company's line) and Morice Town, which was closer to the main dockyards. From Fore Street one route ran eastwards along Paradise Road and Stuart Road to Pennycomequick, serving the <a href="/wiki/Devonport_Kings_Road_railway_station" title="Devonport Kings Road railway station">LSWR station</a> and terminating near <a href="/wiki/Plymouth_railway_station" title="Plymouth railway station">North Road station</a> in Plymouth. Another route ran north-eastwards to Milehouse where the main tram depot was established. From Morice Town one route ran eastwards to Milehouse, and another ran northwards to Camel's Head via Keyham. These routes totalled 4.75 miles (7.64 km). Devonport Corporation provided the electricity from their power station at Stonehouse Creek near the Pennycomequick line.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley30_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley30-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The company's proposed routes were not comprehensive enough to meet the corporation's aspirations, so they built two further lines. One was an extension from Milehouse to Peverell, the other was a line from Camel's Head to Saltash Passage. This was not initially connected to the line from Morice Town as the wooden bridge across Camel's Head Creek was not able to accommodate tram lines, so a small depot was provided at Camel's Head. The corporation leased its lines to the Devonport and District company in 1903. The company opened a tea room at Little Ash near Saltash Passage and offered round-trip tickets, with the journey to the tea room being by tram in one direction and by boat in the other.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley30_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley30-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>When the Three Towns merged into one in October 1914, the company sold out to the Plymouth Corporation.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley30_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley30-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Plymouth_Corporation">Plymouth Corporation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tramways_in_Plymouth&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Plymouth Corporation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Plymouth Corporation's first venture into tramway operation was when it took over the failing Plymouth Tramways Company in 1892. Its new Tramway Department continued to operate the routes to Mutley and West Hoe with horse trams, new cars being delivered in 1894 and 1895. The West Hoe line was lengthened a short distance to Pier Street on 11 March 1893. From Mutley the line was extended north from Hyde Park Corner to Compton Lane on 3 April 1893. Next came a connection from Richmond Street along Old Town Street to Market Avenue to give the Mutley line a more convenient town centre terminus. In 1895 a new line was opened from Mutley Plain straight down North Hill, joining up with the flatter route via North Road at a place later known as Spear's Corner in Tavistock Road. The following year saw street widening that allowed the opening of the short section which the Board of Trade had previously refused to approve. 10 December 1896 a completely new line was opened eastwards from the junction at the bottom of Tavistock Road (now known as Drake's Circus) to Prince Rock.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley18_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley18-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Work started to convert the corporation's lines to electric power in 1898. The first to be done was from the Market Avenue to Prince Rock which was operated by electric trams from 22 January 1899. Electricity was supplied from the corporation's own power station at Cattewater (near the eastern end of the line) and a new tram depot was built in Elliot Road. The electrification was soon extended from Market Avenue to the Theatre. The first six electric cars were equipped to haul an old horse tram as a trailer, but this practice was discontinued after a derailment in Old Town Street. 4 April 1901 saw the route to Compton turned over to electric operation.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley21_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley21-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A new electric route eastwards to Beaumont Road was opened on 2 April 1902.

This just left horse trams on the West Hoe route, which was converted on 22 June 1907.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley51_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley51-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In October 1914 the 'Three Towns' were merged under the auspices of Plymouth Corporation.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The lines owned by Devonport Corporation came under the control of Plymouth Corporation, and at the same time the BET's Devonport and District company was sold to the corporation.

The one remaining route, from Theatre to Peverell, was therefore kept running.

This had been opened in 1901 by the Devonport company. After the merger with the Plymouth Corporation it was developed as the principal depot for the combined fleets. Connections at Pennycomequick and Peverell allowed cars from Milehouse to reach the Plymouth routes, and a new route along Alma Road opened in May 1922 which gave a direct route from Milehouse to Pennycomequick and the Theatre. At around this time the facilities at the depot were expanded. Two new sheds containing a total of six tracks were built at the east end of the original sheds, a new entrance was laid to the Milhouse Road/Alma Road junction, and new offices for the Tramways Department were opened.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley59_13-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley59-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By 1936 all the other depots had been closed and all trams were kept at Milehouse.<sup id="cite_ref-Langley118_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Langley118-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The depot also maintained the growing fleet of motor buses.

The Stonehouse company's horse tram depot had been in Manor Lane, but when the route was electrified in 1901 a new depot was established in Market Street.
