- In 1941, open space in Market Street was used as the bus station, except on Saturday when the market was held there. In the 1970s, this was demolished to make way for the Wellington Arcade shopping precinct. In 1951, a new station was built in Market Street and the market was moved to Back Bonegate. Before all this, a bus station was used in Owler Ings Road.
