Tramway Managers |
Major R R Greene
(later to become Colonel)
Wallasey Corporation Transport Tramways manager |
 | | R R Greene was Wallasey Corporation Tramways first Tramways manager, hired on a salary of £250 p.a. | | He
was previously an accountant with the dock board, he lived at 216
Seabank Road, Wallasey now home to a motorcycle dealer. Major Greene
was in charge of the local garrison fort known as Fort Perch Rock. The
battery appears to have been a volunteers outfit, there orders were to
keep the french, our traditional enemy, at bay. Fort Perch Roch was
built in the 1850's. He appears to have run the tramway in military
manner, expecting staff to salute before speaking to him. The
uniforms were also in a military style . Major Greene retired at the
age of 70 on a life pension of £268.00 p.a. |  | | Below is a picture of the Wallasey Corporation Tramways staff. |  | | Note the lack of maintenance staff in "scruffy" overalls |
