Miscellaneous

Sheds

There were seven Great Western Railway sheds in the county at one time or another whilst the London North Western Railway also had seven sheds. The Midland Railway had four (although one was very close to the other Saltley and as no records exist it has not been included in the list below), the Stratford upon Avon and Midland Junction Railway (SMJR) had one shed. The Great Central which did arrive in the county until 1899 had no shed facilities in Warwickshire as only a short section of the line passed through the county.

Can You Help?

Could you write a more detailed caption to the photographs or provide information on the on the region's sheds, the EHLR, Foleshill Railway and other industrial railways in Warwickshire? We have initially concentrated on providing photographs which, with over six thousand images, is taking a considerable amount of time. We have only provided basic captions at this point because of the amount of time required to fully research the subject shown.

The Miscellaneous home page is intended to provide generic information on the various lines or sheds within the county. The subsequent pages on the sheds or industrial lines would provide captioned photos and details relevant to the location. As we are sure you will appreciate our knowledge of some areas is thin because the subject matter may not reflect our personal interest.
