• Site occupied by the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO - Midland Red) in November 1914, when the company took over routes abandoned by the Worcestershire Motor Transport Company Limited after most of that company’s vehicles were commandeered by the War Office in following the outbreak of the First World War.
  At the outbreak for the First World War, BMMO operated a fleet of Tilling-Stevens “petrol-electric” motorbuses, which the army did not considered suitable for use in France.  Because of this, the BMMO fleet remained intact and the company was able to expand in a number of areas, using surplus vehicles from the Birmingham area, at the expense of less fortunate operators who had their vehicles requisitioned.
     
• Site vacated in April 1921, with all operations moving to the ex- Worcestershire Motor Transport Company Limited depot at East Street.

The St. Johns Tramway depot has long been demolished, but covered the site at the corner of the Bull Ring and Henwick Road, now occupied by the Co-op supermarket.

• The East Street garage in Worcester was built circa 1870 as a skating rink on a site previously occupied by the Crystal Pavilion in Worcester’s Arboretum Pleasure Gardens.  The building was constructed from corrugated iron sheeting with cast-iron pillars, and at the time, was considered one of the ugliest buildings in the county!
