Accrington Tram Depot

The last tram ran in Accrington in 1932 but the tram shed at Ellison Street became the corporation bus depot and continued in such use into modern times. I remember often looking down the street to see the distinctive red and dark blue Accrington buses inside. Towards the end of its life as the bus garage it was rebuilt with a part cladding exterior and now serves as a Jewsons branch as seen here looking along Ellison St, near the railway station, in May 2022.
