Former Knock tram depot, Belfast
The Belfast Corporation’s Knock tram depot, on the Upper Newtownards Road near the Knock crossroads
Image closed in 1947. It passed to the Corporation’s Electricity Department (later Northern Ireland Electricity). Track remained in-situ until the early 1990’s when it was removed to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. Much of the depot and yard remained (well after privatisation) until fairly recently when it was sold and replaced by a block of shops. The remains of the roofless shed have survived.
Note added 2 August 2011: the remains of the shed have now been demolished.
