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.
