There’s not a great deal to tell about this place.
The bus garage is built on the site of what was originally the Theatre Royal.
Built during the nineteenth century the new Theatre Royal, seated 1200 people, with its magnificent proscenium and forty foot stage, this theatre was a modern wonder.
Its boards had been trod by Macreadym Kean, Mrs Langtry, Edward Terry martin Harvey, Mrs Patrick Campbell and Gladys Cooper.
But early one morning in September 1918, fire was detected in the Theatre Royal and within a few hours nothing remained but the side walls.
Once the site was cleared the bus garage was built and was in service up until a few years ago and operated by Firstbus.
An old picture back in the day
I found out about this place after repeatedly walking past it and finally deciding to investigate.
The access was literally walking through a door. Seemed a little odd but but eh I carried on.

The inside. The bus was the jewel of the explore.
My new whip.
Cheeky little portrait.
Thanks for looking.
