RETIRED ARCHITECT KILLED – A tramcar fatal accident in Wilmslow Road, Withington, was investigated at the Manchester Coroner’s Court yesterday, when the death was inquired into of Mr Thomas Mayor, aged 83 years, a retired architect, of Mauldeth Road West, Withington. Mr Charles K Mayor, an architect and surveyor, said his father had good health. He could hear well, but was short-sighted; he was not very active on his feet, and walked with the aid of a stick. He heard on Saturday that his father had been knocked down by a tramcar, and saw him at the Royal Infirmary. The witness had him taken to a nursing home where he died on Monday. … The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and added that in their opinion there had been an error of judgement on the part of the car-driver [Manchester Guardian 28 July 1910 page 2]
