From buses to planes?
When these buildings in Osmaston Road were visited in 2005 they contained a selection of aero-engines and other aviation material and were being run privately as a museum of Derby’s activities in the aerospace industry, with particular reference to Rolls-Royce. In earlier days they are believed to have housed trams and buses of the Derby Corporation Transport fleet.
