Telford Steam Railway loco shed

This building dates from 1860, and was designed as a goods transhipment shed, which had originally permitted the transfer of goods from the Severn Junction Railway, to the Coalbrook Company's narrow gauge plateway system. For the last 30 years or so, the Telford Steam Railway has used the building as their loco shed. Coming out of the main door can be seen a railway line. This goes across the lane known as Pool Side by a level crossing, to connect with the rest of the Telford Steam Railway. Image Image
