Close up of image 'lnwrcov596a' showing the London and
Birmingham Railway pump house that was sited at the rear of the engine shed. To
the left can be seen the coal store whilst behind it can be seen the wooden
structure of the 'incline machine. The sign above the shed says KETTON CEMENT
which seems to indicate, given the apparently good condition of the doors, that
it was still in use even if not for its original purpose. Whilst many consider
the late 20th century as being the age of advertising with the growth of the
multinational advertising companies such as Satchi & Satchi. Railways made
full use of their facilities as was noted earlier in image 'lnwrcov620d' which showed the rear wall of the 1860
station covered in advertising posters. In this instance there is a CAMP COFFEE
sign on the corner of the shed. Just how effective this position would be can
only be guessed at as it was only a small sign and only a few passengers would
see it.
