Summary
| Description |
English: Darnall Locomotive Depot. View eastward of the Depot, in relatively pristine condition just six years after it was opened (on 11/4/43), a 'thoroughly modern' steam depot that was required urgently in World War Two to replace the very antiquated and confined Depot at Neepsend. These were the principal ex-Great Central Depots in Sheffield, providing many of the locomotives handling the passenger and - immense - freight traffic originating in the area and conveyed on the ex-GC main axes, Manchester - Sheffield - Nottingham and the South/Doncaster - Scunthorpe - Grimsby/Lincoln etc. In 1950 in the Eastern Region of BR it was coded 39B (in the Manchester District) and had an allocation of 95, comprising:- 18 4-6-0s, 1 4-4-2, 30 2-8-0s, 21 0-6-0s, 2 4-4-2Ts, 18 0-6-2Ts, 3 0-6-0Ts and 2 0-4-0Ts. The photograph shows a representative selection on a quiet Sunday morning. The Depot did not last long: it was closed to steam on 17/6/63 and totally on 4/10/65. |
