Pwllheli Corporation Tramways operated a short horse-drawn tramway service in Pwllheli between 1899 and 1919.[1]
History
The short horse-drawn tramway service from Pwllheli railway station to Victoria Parade operated a summer service.
Proposals were put forwards for a connection to the Pwllheli and Llanbedrog Tramway, but these were never advanced, presumably, one of the major issues was the difference in track gauge.
Closure
The service ceased after the summer season in 1919. It was dismantled shortly afterwards.
