Upton Park Bus Garage (London)

United Kingdom / England / Westham / London / Tudor Road
The London Road Car Company originally built a garage on the site in 1907, which was taken over by the LGOC in 1908. Requisitioned for the war effort in 1915, it resumed bus operations in 1919. When it was rebuilt in 1931 it was unique in that the roof span was formed with no supporting pillars, also, because the engineers' offices were at first floor level overlooking the yard, buses had their fleet numbers shown on their rear roof domes.
