Birkenhead Mollington Street Shed
The large steam shed at Mollington Street, Birkenhead, complete with permanent haze, in September 1958. This large depot was a combination of two previously separate 8-road straight sheds originally belonging to the LNWR (left) and GWR, with a shared turntable and coaling stage. The shed closed to steam in 1967 but saw further use as a diesel depot until abandoned in 1985. The last of the buildings on the site was demolished in 1987.
