The bus depot was demolished for the building of a Gateway supermarket which was then taken over by Asda and expanded and redesigned.

See now that's what I thought but I was only young when it turned into asda, but I'm sure it was a gateway

The Asda was definately built as a Gateway supermarket. As previously posted, it was bought by Asda , re-branded and extended.

It was definitely a Gateway as Stegga said,they moved to the new site from the store on Seaview Road. I remember going in there with my mum when it first opened and she was pretty disgusted because there were no toilets available for customers.They weren't there that long before Asda took them over and had it all re-designed.

There was also the water board on the ASDA site. Wallasey's water came from the well there and was some of the purest in the country. It was contaminated by diesel around the time of the MPTE and closed down. Don't buses run on diesel?

The Tram depot was built on the old pumping station, before diesel buses where there. Two Pictures from "Wallasey Now and Then". You should be able to make out the text.

Think you will find that the building right at the back is the old pumping station and well. No trams!
