Storage at Long Marsden
One of the large warehouses in Central Engineer Park, seen from Station Road. Central Engineer Park was formerly a very large storage depot for the MOD comprising 478 acres with 1.4 million sq ft of workshops, storage and office accommodation and 35 kilometres of rail line. The Park was opened in 1941 and by the end of the war a major hutted camp had been established. Further construction took place including barrack blocks and offices during the 1960s. Sold off by the MOD, part of the site is now used by private businesses and there plans to create a sustainable community with housing and leisure facilities.

If you go down to the woods today . . .
. . . You could be sure of a big surprise, for all sorts of railway locomotives, carriages and wagons might be hiding therein.

Iron horses put out to grass?
It is ironic that as the number of passengers travelling on the newly privatised railways grew, the number of locomotives and coaches stored out of use at various rail-connected depots with plenty of spare siding space also grew.
