The street called Northway was created in the 1930s in order to improve traffic links from the South cliff area, across Valley Bridge, to the north side. Demolition started in 1930 and at this point Albion Street was removed completely. The large brick building was built by the Ministry of Works in the 1950s. The Aldi sign and car park are on the site of the former West Yorkshire Road Car Company bus station and garage, built in 1939. After going out of use it became a motor dealership but was subsequently demolished to make way for the Aldi car park. The 'shadow' of the bus station building can be seen on the end wall of the 1950s building.
