Monument Lane Shed: lnwrmlsh2233a

Close up of image 'lnwrmlsh2233' showing one of Web's 0-6-0 designs on the left and on the right two of CJ Bowen-Cooke's tank engines. The Webb locomotive is standing on the extra stabling road installed in 1915. The three locomotives would have been coaled by hand as the shed did not receive mechanised coaling plant for another fourteen years. All of the locomotives appear to be very clean and the roads leading to the shed are equally very clean and smart. As labour became more scarce and expensive the shed and its locomotives did not receive this level of care as evident in later photographs.
