they still make the motorway barriers in that shed too.

It's such a shame that they are trying to get rid. It's a very powerful piece of the landscape, I believe. The view of it from the M61 really gives some idea of the scale and there simply can't be many engine sheds like this that have not been demolished or manicured beyond belief (not that I am a rail expert). Good to see pictures from here again and stir it in the memories.

Gotta agree completely with you there mate. My old man spent some time in there back in the '50s whilst doing his electrical apprenticeship, I always give it a nod when passing up/down the M61.
