The main part of the offices, fronting Mellor Street. Built in 1904 soon after the local steam tramways had been taken over and electrified by the Corporation. The Corporation Transport was taken over in 1969 by Selnec which then became Greater Manchester Transport. In 1986 it was privatised as GM Buses. The Rochdale garage was closed in 1991 as a cost saving exercise and now houses a variety of businesses.
