Derby Castle

A close up of the complicated pointwork outside the Douglas Horse Tram depot at Derby Castle. The possible reasons behind such a layout are fascinating, especially when viewed against the fact that the trams are double ended vehicles and run round involves the horse walking from one end of the car to the other wherever it is situated. As can be seen a few of the depot roads are no longer connected - what was the layout when they were? See image 30994.
