The reference to Trinity Road reminds me that during late 1940 and 1941 when air raids were at their heaviest up to eighteen tramcars were stabled in the loop (shown on the map) in Trinity Road. This was felt less risky than in depots particularly since Witton and Washwood Heath tram depots had been hit badly resulting in the loss and severe damage to trams. Hockley and Highgate Road depots had severe damage but they were now bus depots.Bevington Rd - Map dated 1892-1914 indicating tram lines. (On Bevington Rd)

This facility in Trinity Rad was used again after WW2 when Witton depot was being part rebuilt after wartime bomb damage and could also accommodate Villa supporters trams.
