Tram opposite Canal St and the Martland Mill depot on Woodhouse Lane. Houses are still there as is the old Methodist Church which now sells furniture.

That's a cracker, Steven.
Any idea of the year?

It's 1901 Cliff. I have seen a great picture of the depot taken from about the same spot looking the other way, but can't remember where it was. I remember playing on the waste ground as a kid where the depot once stood and finding the long inspection pits.
