Headingley Tram Depot on Otley Road in July 1935. A depot for trams had been built on this site in 1873, with stables for 124 horses. The land had been purchased from the Cardigan Estate. In 1935 it was extensively rebuilt and altered to accommodate 40 trams. The last trams in Leeds ran in 1959, the depot was then used by buses. It was again upgraded and enlarged in the late 1970s. By 1993 the site was sold for redevelopment. It is now a complex of retirement homes. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
