Description:The last steam trams ran at New Year, 1906, so the depot on the Moseley Road which opened in 1907 was used only for electric trams. The building itself, with its magnificent appearance was specially designed to fit in with "the select and residential" area around it.

In 1947 it was converted to work with motor buses. Today it is the Creation Centre with indoor climbing walls and skateboard ramps which make excellent use of the large spaces.
