As far as I know the entrance gates at Crich are from Marylebone Station, London.
Perhaps I'm getting confused with these gates which states that they come from the old Birmingham Wholesale market.
but I'm sure that when I visited the the museum about 20 years ago the B'ham Tram depot gates were installed there
sorry picture gone missing
Great picture Viv but the ones at Crich are quite different, as you say perhaps came from one of the many entrances to the market.Phyllis Nicklin photographed the gates in 1968 see image below from this thread https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/for...eld-fruit-veg-w-sale-market-1883.44380/page-3
But of course this is only one entrance - the 1903 one. They were very tall gates ! Viv.

Hannah Bale, Curatorial Assistant at Crich Tramway Museum got back to me today, now they have their Heritage site open again.I have made enquiries about the gates with Crich. Let's see what transpires.
Addendum: They have replied and will get back to me.
Today I received some nine, wonderful photographs from Hannah at the curatorial section at Crich. I have to say that the response from Crich is in marked contrast to other inquiries made within the city boundaries, that have been made by BHF Members but without result.Hannah offered to send photos to me. Now someone has mentioned them I will follow that up.
