| Bushbury Shed
Bushbury Shed was built in 1883 to replace an earlier timber
building. It had eight roads, a 70 ft. turntable, and
mechanised coaling and ash disposal plants. In the 1920s up
to 60 engines were allocated there, but by the 1950s the
number had fallen to around 40.
Many of the top class engines of the day could be seen
there, particularly those in charge of Euston trains, such
as the 'Royal Scots'. The shed was numbered 3B in LMS and BR
days, until 1960 when it became 21C. It closed on 28th
March, 1966. |
