I was just surfing the net when I came across your brilliant trolleybus website. I am presently sitting in the old trolleybus depot at Ilford and was amazed to see the old pictures.

At the moment the old depot is home to Ilford's dustcarts with a small function hall on top of the old building [which I run); I say at the moment because Redbridge Council have just put the site up for sale which is sad as my mother used to take me on a trolleybus to Barkingside when I was a baby [I am now 48].

I recently took several pictures of Ley Street depot and here is one taken from roughly the same spot as that showing the trolleybus. I have showed my mother all the pictures of Ilford on your web site and it has bought so many happy memories back for her, thank you for such a brilliant website.
