 This area of sidings was known as the "Brent Empty Wagon sidings" and only a small portion of them are visible here. They could house some 1,800 wagons. |

| I love attempting to read the advertising hoardings. To see what was on for entertainment and what goods people were being asked to buy. Some of the products are still available today! |

| Seasonal football & cricket pitches used to be here, used by London Transport teams from the nearby Cricklewood Bus Garage, alas all the green land is now a housing estate, since circa 1990's |

| The B Type bus had a separate body and chassis. To the left of the pin can be seen two chassis parked against the wall of the garage, while below the pin are a number of bodies standing on the ground. |

The bus depot buildings in this photo had changed very little by the 1960s when I walked past them every week. |

The tag for the LNWR brake van is in error. It is just a standard goods van. There is a similar one from the London and South Western Railway a little further down the yard. |

A terrific collection of 'private owner' coal wagons (and other types). |
