1903-1930
Under the Blackpool, St. Annes and Lytham Tramway Order of 1896, a tramway was constructed from the terminus of the Blackpool tramway at South Shore Railway Station. The new line opened on 11 July 1896, operated by the British Gas Traction Company. The extension to Lytham opened in February 1897. The gas powered trams were not successful, and horse cars were also obtained. The scheme was eventually unsuccessful and the company sold out.
In 1900 an act authorised an electric tramway to rebuild the route. It was opened on 28 May 1903 and operated by the Blackpool, St. Annes and Lytham Tramways Co.. On 28 October 1920 St. Annes Council purchased the assets of the company. The tram system was renamed St. Annes Council Tramways. In 1922 the borough of Lytham St. Annes was incorporated. The trams were re-branded with "Lytham St. Annes" and later "Lytham St. Annes Corporation"
The last tram between Lytham and St Annes ran in 1936. The remainder of the system closed on 28 April 1937.
