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.
