ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

NotesAnother drinking fountain commemorating the opening of the tram was erected at the tram terminus at Hatton's Flat by Ryde Council and also unveiled 11 June 1910. There is a suggestion in contemporary newspaper reports that there was some rivalry among aldermen over the erection of drinking fountains
