Flats and Gymnasium in Uxbridge Road, Acton
This photo shows the flats and PureGym gymnasium in Acton High Street W3 9QU. They were built on the site of the Acton Tram Depot which originally opened in 1896 for horse-drawn trams, later being used by electric trams and trolleybuses then closing in March 1937. It then reopened as a bus garage in 1990 operating motor buses on route 207 between Shepherd's Bush and Uxbridge, subsequently closing in 2008 then razed to the ground. As the former bus garage had a distinctive appearance, it was perhaps unfortunate that it didn't become a Listed Building, being saved from demolition.
