View of the former Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway
locomotive shed now being used as a store for a timber merchant. The size of
the building provides an indication that Hampton when first opened was
considered to be a major terminus for the B&DJR. The shed appears to be two
bays wide each with two tracks giving the impression that the shed would have
been home to at least eight locomotives assuming two engines for each of the
four tracks. C1952
