Which is now NXWM Central Garage:

Athough it includes "Tramways" above the doorway AFAIK it was never a tram depot and wasn't on a tram line!

 

EDIT

It was opened in 1936 when trams were still common so maybe there was a plan to keep trams there as well but the openings don't look high enough.

Perusing my recently acquired book, 'Industrial Steam Album' (Vol. 1) I found a photo of this site which looks rather intriguing and modellable.  Seemingly compact with tight curves etc. it also appears to have a double slip which is unusual in these sort of locations. Not only is there a DS but it look to be very sharp radius to fit the limited space - could be an interesting bit of track work to model.

 

Could anyone point me in the direction of finding out more info. on the site?  I've googled it using the tags in the thread title but very little of practical use has surfaced.  Perhaps a link to the relative old OS map?  Or some more photos somewhere?
