The old trams in salford

Does anyone have any information about the old tram depo on Fredrick Road Salford. I have been told that it used to be an old tram depo but that is all i know. I just was wondering which parts of the north west the Tram company based at this depo covered.

There is a book devoted entirely to Salford's tram system. I can't recall the details but it does come up on fleabay occasionally. In fact it's been there in the last couple of weeks.

I used to work on Frederick Road and never saw evidence of trams, that's rather interesting.

I wish I had more information.

Correction: the book on Salford trams isn't just one but a two volume set.

The Salford Tram depo is now a set of student a commodation. Called Tramways funny enough. But the depo is at the base of Peel Park.
And thanks for the heads up on the book. I will have to keep an eye out for it.
