Former bus depot, Kings Hedges Road, Cambridge

Still marked as a bus depot on the 1:25000 map, but it looks pretty far gone to me. UPDATE (October 2005): construction has just started on a new housing development on this site, but the picture in the Cambridge Weekly News still shows this structure standing.

The church was built in 1938 to serve this large 1930s housing estate. The tower is an interesting design when it's not covered with scaffolding.
