This shows the Camberwell New Road exit to the garage on the latter's Open Day - hence the two vintage buses parked on the forecourt. The building of the present garage was completed in 1954. It replaced Walworth tram depot which had stood on the same site between 1905 until the early 1950s. Until 1950 the tram depot had the more geographically accurate name 'Camberwell' but this was replaced by 'Walworth' to avoid confusion with Camberwell bus garage which stood (and still stands) on the opposite side of the road.
