LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Stockingford Shed: mrs402

An external view of the abandoned shed at Stockingford with doors rotten and open and all lines removed. he grounded coach body along side the building has been removed and in a few years there will be no evidence of the shed. Pete Lee, in his book 'Railways of Nuneaton and Bedworth', recounts that during the Second World War the shed was used to stable locomotives overflowing from nearby Nuneaton Trent Valley shed. In addition the tracks inside the shed were used to stable crippled wagons and even, it was rumoured, sugar beet.
