Description

It may be called the engine shed, but the first thing that was admitted to us on a tour of the building was that it "definitely wasn't an engine shed"...

It is quite apparent that the openings at either end are nowhere large enough, even after alteration, to have accommodated engines. HS have told me that their research suggests it was a pug shed, but it is interesting that the c1942 OS map only shows a single track abutting the south side - if it was was for pugs, then I would've expected at least two tracks taking the width of the building - you wouldn't have a shed for housing locomotives that was three times wider than it needed to be. I would also have expected the central opening to have been larger, even for small pug engines.

Far more likely, I think, is that it was a simple goods shed, with a central opening large enough for flatbed trucks or open wagons.
