A view of the shed circa 1959 taken shortly before it was closed to steam

A view of the shed circa 1959 taken shortly before it was closed to steam from the start of the summer timetable in 1961. The steel wagons would have been used to cart away the clinker and the ash from the ash plant and disposal road located on the extreme right just out of view of the camera.

From right to left is an ex-LMS 0-6-0 4F, ex-LMS 0-6-0 3F No 43822 standing behind, ex-LMS 4-6-0 Black 5 No 44863, with an unidentified ex-LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee at its rear, an ex-LMS Stanier 2-6-4T with an ex-LNWR 0-8-0 standing in front of the 2-6-4T's smokebox, and two more ex-LMS 4-6-0 Black 5s on the extreme left.
