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 first tram service, which was also a first for Manchester, 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 (1818-86), and Benjamin Whitworth.[3]
