Derby Bus Station

Derby Bus Station

Derby Bus Station was the first purpose-built bus station in the United Kingdom. Designed by Charles Herbert Aslin, the Borough Architect, it opened in 1933. It was the first of its kind in the world, with railway-style platforms. It had an art deco cafe and diner, in which The Beatles once dined.

The station was demolished in July 2006 and work started in 2007 on a complex of shops, a casino, apartments and a new bus terminal.
