An Engine Shed<\/strong> was first established at Oxenholme<\/strong> in the 1840s when the line first opened. It is believed to have been a one lane through shed with a turntable just to its northern entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was replaced by a four road Engine Shed in 1880 when the station was rebuilt. <\/p>\n\n\n

The four road Engine Shed is pictured above looking north to the Kendal to New Hutton road bridge<\/a> with the water tank and coal stage in the left foreground. Just under the bridge, the LMS Oxenholme No. 2 Signalbox<\/a> can be spotted. The former LNWR Oxenholme No. 2 Signalbox used to be postioned behind the Engine Shed and was raised to give the signalman a clear view  of the south end of Oxenholme Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Collins<\/strong> was Shedmaster until 1915 when Mr Bunner<\/strong> took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine shed roof was replaced in 1938. The old slates were advertised in the local press.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Shedmaster in the early 1960’s was W. Walker<\/strong> who, aged just 23, took over from Acting Shedmaster Joe Mitchell<\/strong>, a driver in his fifties who then acted as W. Walker’s deputy. At that time there were 50 men and 12 engines. The Engine Shed closed in July 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n
