This yard at Wootton if I remember correctly was a southern depot for Foden, back in 59/60 (COMS bus driver then) and on a Sat only route ■■■■■■ to Oxford via Wootton going past there and seeing rows of Foden stuff, someone could maybe add to this. Obivously these sheds would have been built since.
