I'm almost certain that the trolleybus depot was in Shepherd's Bush
Road, next to the old Osram Lamp Factory (now Tesco) facing Brook
Green,
and backing onto more LT land (the Hammersmith & City line depot).
There's a picture at http://www.trolleybus.net/resume.htm (scroll down
to the bottom left).

Afraid it wasn't! The old trolleybus depot and adjacent buildings were
located on the east side of the District/Picc. tube station.

Ah, thanks. Presumably the front was facing north onto the Broadway
itself? Looking again at the photo I mentioned I can see that the
traffic island would be one of those that used to run down the middle of
the Broadway.


It occurs to me that what is now the Hammersmith one-way system has had
a trolleybus depot on its north side, bus garages on the south and west
sides, the old Butterwick bus station on the east side and now the new
bus station in the middle. Quite a record!


I think you may be getting confused over roads here. The current Hammersmith
one-way system includes Hammersmith Broadway (leading to Hammersmith Rd) at
its northern side; Butter at its eastern side; Tailgate Road/Flyover at its
southern side and Queen Caroline St at its western side.
The old trolley bus depot (later BEA Coach base) was located where Butter
now is, I.e. on the eastern side. Thus it backed on to the District/Pick.
railway lines. After it was demolished, the road was widened and the old
Butter bus station was built. It too went as part of the redevelopment of
the whole area and the replacement bus station built above the new shopping
centre.
