It can be whatever you want it to be. Not specifically "tramways" but rather a general cap/collar badge worn by Blackpool Corporation uniformed staff.

I was in a rush and just posted the first link I found.

I should have remembered that a lot of "corporation" badges were worn by numerous different groups.
