Fleetwood Copse Road Tram Depot
I've driven past this car showroom many times without knowing its
provenance but with the aid of an old book I realised that it was the original Blackpool & Fleetwood Tram Depot. The outside is covered in cladding but two holes have been left to show the inscribed stones underneath. An enlargement of the stone on the left is reproduced here (the other says Jubilee 1897). The depot had a capacity for 41 trams but finally closed in 1963. [Update: During 2016 the old tram depot was demolished but I understand the plaques have been saved.]
