Coventry Shed: lnwrcov4126
A 1920 aerial view of Coventry shed showing the location of
the original 45 foot diameter turntable and the carriage sidings. There appears
to be four LNWR 0-6-0 locomotives, two on the same road leading to the coal
hole with one partially hidden. The turntable is designed to accommodate two
roads entering and departing, both very close together as is evident by the two
sets of buffers positioned next to each other. Despite the year being 1920 it
is clear that the station was located in a rural part of the city, 'Park
Gardens' featuring on both sides of Quinton Road (on the right) and the
railway. Philip Millard of the L&NWR Society writes regarding the carriages
stabled opposite the shed, 'A bit indistinct, but the left-most carriage
would appear to be a 54ft 0in brake-third to D.334, then two 57ft 0in lavatory
composites of D.147. The D.334 has come from a Crewe-Holyhead set of 1913,
apparently now disbanded'.
