The Oldest Surviving Former Midland Red Bus Garage Building is...

[horsencart]

My nomination for the oldest surviving former Midland Red Bus Garage building is the Black Lion Bridge St Hereford, if you turn to page 150 of Midland Red A History of the Company and its Vehicles from 1940 to 1970, if you look at the top photograph there is a photo of the offices now if you go to https://my.bus.photos.fotopic.net/p68745058.html

you will see the same "offices" in 2011 the rest of the garage has gone but the offices appear to remain, this leads me to ponder where is the second oldest oldest surviving former Midland Red Bus Garage building how about the former Midland Red Bus Garage in Friars Street Hereford 1925--to the present day

Tamworth Depot was opened in 1928 and is still an opperating depot for Midland Red successor Arriva.
