Former Bus Depot, Northampton (3)
This photo shows the West side of the bus depot in St James' Road which was opened in 1904 as a tram depot. Originally occupied by Northampton Corporation Transport, it was taken over by the GRT Group in 1993, which in April 1995 became part of First Bus. This depot was closed in October 2013 and now looks likely to be redeveloped. Wooden fencing can be seen in front of the depot whilst a bus shelter is to the right of the photo.

Notice at former Bus Depot, Northampton
This notice was photographed at the former bus depot in St James' Road. It says the following:
"You may be aware that Church & Co Ltd have recently purchased this site which is now PRIVATE PROPERTY. Please be advised that in preparation for this forthcoming work, Security Fencing will be erected along the full perimeter of the site. Therefore we kindly ask you to refrain from parking within this area with immediate effect. Thank You for your co-operation".
It would appear from this notice that the writing is on the wall for this former tram and bus depot which dated from 1904 and will soon be consigned to history in the not too distant future.

St. James End, Northampton and The Foundrymans Arms
I once did some work in the 1970's for a foundry based in this part of town. The Crown Foundry made, among other things, piano frames, including for the Dutch and French (Rameau pianos?) markets.
