The former Birkenhead Corporation tramcar depot from New Ferry is just about to be dismantled - for the second time.
The structure was disposed of in 1927 & moved to Corwen where it became Corwen Pavilion. The curved openings for the trams at either end can still be seen in the corrugated iron sheeting. The building has been derelict for some time & is full of asbestos containing materials.
The building is next to the new Llangollen Railway terminus on Corwen Common.

Bob.

I saw Super Furry Animals play there. Never knew its history.

You can search for the building on google maps (in Corwen that is, there's a great photo of it clearly showing the outline of the old tram depot doors. (I tried to link to it but I'm not very good at this type of thing).
