Default electric Bristols

Bristol started out making electric trams, and the city of Bristol was the first in the U.K. to have electric trams.

I thought it was Blackpool that had the first electric trams in service in
September 1880, or am I wrong? London's first electric trams went into
service in 1901 I think.
