A museum is bidding to save a piece of television history – by offering a new home to the Blackpool tram which knocked down and killed Coronation Street villain Alan Bradley. A remarkable 27m people watched the 1989 episode when Bradley chased his long-suffering partner Rita Fairclough into the path of the tram on Blackpool prom.
Blackpool's Tramtown Museum needs to raise £2,500 by end of the year to rescue the tram. The double decker vehicle, which is known as tram number 710, is owned by the Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust and currently based on land at Fleetwood Docks.
Trustees have just 30 days to save it from eviction and relocate it to Tramtown, where it would become a static exhibit.
