Made in 1953 by British Transport Films, The Elephant Will Never Forget, directed and written by John Krish, is an 11-minute documentary capturing the final days of London’s iconic tram network. It opens with nostalgic street scenes and music hall tunes, follows an elderly couple riding their last tram, and culminates in crowds cheering the final tram’s journey into New Cross depot. The film is a poetic, emotional elegy to a fading working-class transport tradition
