This next photo from our anonymous donor suggests that my guess about the Hobert sprinkler / scrubber car being in storage was probably wrong.

The attached pic looks to have been made at the same time and shows the scrubber with other trams behind it, as well as a double decker (probably 38) in the depot.
If the car is 38, that pushes the date back to before 1947/8, when iot was converted to a single decker.

I'm puzzled by the depot road numbering - under cover depot roads go from D to I - and presumably the outside roads were B and C ... where's A road?
