LNWR Webb Northlight Engine Shed. 4 Road shed with workshops and outbuildings at the back of the shed. According to 1/2500 OS maps at some point in its history only 3 of the four roads had track going into them. However study of this photo suggests there might still be some track present in the nearest road ? - The other roads would have had track at this date but seem to be covered in wood stockpiles since this building is now in use by a wood merchant. The large chimney is for a sand drying furnace. This engine shed was closed in 1931 and engines were then supplied to operate the line by the engine shed at Coalville Town. This building survived with a modified roof until quite recently - when demolished it might have been the last surviving engine shed of this once prolific type ?

Main line (single track) to Charnwood Forest Junction via Snells Nook, Shepshed, Grace Dieu, Thringstone, Whitwick, and Coalville East.

Siding to Messengers and Co. foundry whose buildings can just be seen on the edge of the photo.
