Did anyone work at Tyburn Road bus depot.

This was once the largest vehicle garage on one level in the world.

I worked there from 1975-1976.

I worked there as an electrician repairing thousands of starter motors, generators, bell pushes, gearbox actuators and rewiring buses in between.

I never worked there but it is still a magnificent building built I would guess sometime in the 1920's to 30's by its architecture.

Last time I went past I think a courier/ delivery company were using some of it.

I wonder if its listed!! hmm.
