LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Stockingford Shed: mrs116

External view taken on Saturday 3rd March 1934 of Stockingford's closed shed showing the large water tank supported by brick walls and the main shed building constructed from timber. On closure its duties were transfered to the LNWR shed at Nuneaton. As can be seen the shed had three roads, was of a straight road configuration, not the normal Midland round house and made of timber. The water tank was however a standard MR design. The grounded coach body along side the building was a typical railway solution to either providing extra space for either tols or parts or mess facilities.
