On the shed
Class 40 40179 is waiting attention outside Reddish shed. At this time Reddish had heavy lifting gear as well as tyre reprofiling equipment. It was quite a busy engineering depot repairing and servicing locomotives for the North West area of British Rail as well as the base for the Woodhead line class 76 electric locomotives. With the closure of the Woodhead line in early 1981 the depot lost most of its work and was shut. The buildings have all been razed to the ground. Even the freight line that went by the depot has closed and been lifted.

Reddish - Tennyson Avenue
Part of a sizable estate the roads of which are named after notable poets. Wordsworth Road is but a daffodil's stalk away while Chaucer Road needs not a pilgrim's progress.
