The depot itself was opened by the North Metropolitan Tramways Company in 1873 before being taken over by the LCC on 1<sup>st<\/sup> April 1906. It only lasted a further year with it closing in 1907 as all the routes in the area were fully electrified. This piece of track is thus a remarkable survivor with it having remained in situ for well over 100 years with the entrance between two buildings which extend over the track.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39398\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=39398\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39398\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39398\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39398\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/highgate-bh-550x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/highgate-bh-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/highgate-bh-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/highgate-bh-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/highgate-bh.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-39398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On 15th September 2019 and we see the track at the entrance to the depot.
