Manchester Suburban Tramways Company

The Manchester Suburban Tramways Company (MSTC) was set up in 1877 to provide horse-drawn tram services throughout Manchester and Salford, in England. The company's, and Manchester's, first tram service ran on 17 May 1877.[1] The MSTC was merged with the Manchester Carriage Company in 1880 to form the Manchester Carriage and Tramways Company.[2] The initial board of directors comprised Daniel Busby, William Turton, John Greenwood, and Benjamin Whitworth MP.[3]
