Duckworth Lane depot opened with a wooden building in 1900. This building was replaced on the same site with a larger stone building in 1902 which remained purely a tram depot until the conversion of the Duckworth Lane tram service in 1934, after which it became 100% trolleybus. It was the last in the country to retain this status when the first motorbuses arrived on 8th November 1971. The last normal service trolleybuses ran into the depot on the night of 24th March 1972 and then the depot became motorbus only until closure in 1977, following the opening of the new Central bus garage at the Interchange.
