Ye Olde Tramcar Vaults.
246 Maryhill Road, Glasgow.
Ye Olde Tramcar Vaults sat at the corner of Maryhill Road and Hopehill Road.
This part of Maryhill Road was formerly called New City Road in the early 1920's.
There has been licensed premises here since the 1870's, James Anderson then occupied the site as a licensed grocer.
John Barrie acquired a full licence for the premises in 1889 and continued as licensee until his death in 1900. Mr Barrie also owned the famous St. Andrew's Vaults, Kent Road now the Avalon Bar.
After his death trustee David Somers took over the licence and continued to hold the certificate until after WW1.
William Barr took over the pub in 1930, the old tram on the rails that hung over the pavement was a famous landmark for years on Maryhill Road. When the pub was demolished in the late 1970's the tram disappeared for a while but was found it's way into the Peoples Palace a few years later.
