Looking across the tracks of the sub-depot towards the brick built carriage shed with the passenger station behind. Prior to the installation by the LMS of the mechanical coaling plant, locomotive coal was stored in coal stacks at various points within the shed's yard. There was always a very large amount stacked because of the need to avoid any issues relating to industrial action by miners etc. Note the coal wagons in the foreground are from all the post-grouping companies except the LMS itself reflecting the advantages of adopting a 'common user' policy.
