Situated in Ashby Road LE67 3LF, this bus garage was opened on the 6th December 1925 and extended in 1930 and 1938. During the mid-1960s, 59 vehicles were based at this garage, this number being increased to 73 when Markfield Garage nearby closed at the end of June 1968. Closure for this garage took place on the 26th March 2011 and a "For Sale" notice can be seen in the photo, which means that it is likely to be redeveloped once sold.
