Mersey Electric Stock
Dave Skipsey has kindly informed me that the location is New Brighton and that the unit on the right is parked in what is known as The Wall Siding.
The design dates from 1903, was modified around 1936 and ran until replaced in 1956.
Dave Evans informs me that this stock was fitted with Westinghouse control similar to one train of District 'A' stock. The MU control equipement was situated in the boarded area behind the cab. These were the only examples using this type of control in UK.
