Between the 1880s and 1938 the road behind the gates, now Ella Mews, served as the entrance to Hampstead tram depot. The depot began as a horse tram facility in around 1887. It was operated by the London Street Tramway Company later acquired by the North Metropolitan Tramway Company which was itself sold to the London County Council in 1905 around which time the Hampstead tram routes were electrified. The depot closed in 1938 when trolleybuses replaced the trams but the premises kept their public transport connection until around 1946 albeit as a storage facility. The main part of the depot was to the right behind what is now the Roy Shaw Centre. Although the building to the left has a tramway look about it, that does not prove beyond doubt that it formed part of the depot.
