Description: | Trolleybuses at the Wolverhampton Corporation Department's Park Lane depot. The depot was built to cope with the Corporation's increasing number of passenger vehicles. It was designed by the Corporation's architectural staff, and built at a cost of 34,500, by Messrs. H. J. Amies and Sons, and was opened by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor R. E. Probert. The depot provided space for up to 56 trolley, petrol and oil-fuel buses, a workshop, oil store, large messroom and kitchen, inspection pits and cleaning facilities. There was also an office block in front of the main garage building. Note the connecting rods on the roofs, making contact with the the many overhead lines. The trolleybuses also make effective advertising boards for the town's local trades. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Public transport Motor vehicle industry Photographs Trolley buses | Temporal: | June 23 1963 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
