The Cheltenham and District Light Railway's tram depot opened in 1901 and housed all of the 3'6" gauge system's stock. The trams were withdrawn in 1930 but the depot continued in use for the buses which replaced the trams. |

Yes, when I worked at a nearby shop in the 1950's the tramlines were still visible in the road leading to the bus depot. |

The Tram company had proposed replacing the trams with trolley-buses, but the local authority objected and hence the switch to motor buses. |

This factory was subsequently used by H.H. Martyn Ltd. who were famous for supplying bespoke furniture to ocean liners. One of the pieces of sculpture made was a tribute the the Commandos featuring 3 commandos in uniform. This is now at Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands near Fort William and was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1952. |
