Currock Wagon Works, April 2007
Image: © Rose and Trev Clough Taken: 14 Apr 2007
Viewed from a passing train, hence the slightly blurred look. There's a snow plough on the left, then a 'Shark' ballast plough brake van (with a crane behind it) and a VGA goods van. The yard was closed the year this photo was taken, and vegetation encroached on the site - see photo taken 2009 Image . The late-Victorian shed became derelict, and was demolished in autumn 2016. Currock was originally a steam engine depot, opened by the Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1896. It passed to the London Midland and Scottish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London,_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway in the 1920s, when it was converted to a wagon repair works.
