History

The Beaumaris Tram Company offered a horse-drawn tram service from Sandringham to Cheltenham from 1889 to 1914. Sadly, it closed and the town lost all trace of the original tram line. However, the street, Tramway Parade was named in honour of the tram service as is where the trams were once seen in action.

The town of Beaumaris was developed slowly with its first post office opening in 1868. It was soon replaced by the Gipsy Village office. The people of Beaumaris had to wait until 1925 before another post office was built in the town.
