Monument Lane Shed: lnwrmlsh2245
Another view of Monument Lane shed on 7th October 1962 some
eight months after its closure to steam. In the distance on the left are
several steel bodied open wagons standing along side the former water softening
tanks. On the right the remains of the white painted internal wall of the shed
can be seen. Monument Lane's shed was, like so many across the country, in a
very poor state after the Second World War due to the damage to its structure
caused by the soot, smoke and steam over many years. In the instance of
Monument Lane the action taken was to remove part of the roof and to shorten it
but leave the external wall in place.
