Description and History of Site:-
In dressed stone with slate roof. Two ranges of 7 bays with large doorways in the gable ends. Continuous roof-lights. Date-stone of 1904.
Constructed in 1904 by the Bradford Corporation Tramways department, presumably at the time they bought out the Mid-Yorkshire Tramway Co, Shipley, and incorporated that company's infrastructure into their Bradford network. With the demise of tramways, became a depot for trolley buses and later still for motor buses, and closed in 1978.
In 1997, converted to industrial warehouse use, subsequently operated as a children's play centre. Now used as a bar-restaurant.
