Earlier in the year, in March, Crosville had assumed responsibilty for the old North Western Road Car Company's buses in Northwich and they subsequently moved the Middlewich depot operations to Northwich depot at the end of the year. The garage at Middlewich had anyway become too small, as Crosville's activities in the growing new town at Winsford had increased, and I think that they latterly used an overflow parking ground opposite the depot building to enable them to stable a total of seven buses; does anyone have any recollections or maybe photographs of that?

Opposite was a Electrical shop, the guy who did the repairs there was the Church Organist and choir master for many a year. to the left and towards the new bus stop on the duel carriage way was a car show room, At the Darlington road end was a Jewellers and next to that was Parry's Fish and Chip Shop, Opposite side of the Orchard was the Solicitors then the old doctors surgery. God Bless Dr Graham, he saved me from the grip of my mums womb in the early 50's.
