Summary edit
| Description |
English: Locomotive Shed and Workshop at Eaton Exchange Sidings - 1 The 3ft-gauge locomotives which worked the Eaton Quarries system either side of the Eastwell-Belvoir and Eaton-Stathern Roads (Duke's Pit and Hurst's Pit) were stabled and maintained at this shed, which was built c. 1889. The narrow-gauge railway system was abandoned in 1946, but the shed survives, derelict but largely intact. The green corrugated-iron extension was built after the railway closed so that the shed could be used as a garage for the tipper lorries which brought the ironstone from the quarries to the tipping dock until quarrying finished in the early 1960s. See other photographs nearby for more information on the Eaton Branch and ironstone quarrying in the area. |
