I think there is another relic

A booklet "The Tramways of Grimsby, immingham and Cleethorpes" by JH Price captions a photo of the tram shed
"A 1935 view of Grimsby Corporations tram depot at 42 Victoria Street created by adding a concrete front to a wartime seaplane hangar brought from Killingholme...."

built in 1926.

This site http://www.airfieldarchaeology.co.uk...lingholme.html says there were upto 8 sheds there but which one this might be, I do not know

Happy to go and photograph the interior if anyone is interested

Are there particular features I need to look for to identify which hangar type got moved from the selection that was at Killingholme?

Following on from Noel's article in the March 2013 Airfield Review (iss 138 page 34) here are some more photos of the former seaplane shed which became a tram shed in 1925 and is now used by Stagecoach for Bus maintenance

East facade with the signage and date, with one of the former tram entrances still present on Victoria Street opposite the Police Station and Magistrates Court. Tram tracks are still visible entering the hangar at this door way. I am guessing that this would have been the open or door side of the former hangar

When I asked for access to the inside of the hangar for a quick photo, I was refused on the grounds of Elf and Safety
