BOURNVILLE LOCOMOTIVE SHEDS (grid reference SP 051807)
Nothing now remains on site to indicate the presence of the former Midland Railway locomotive sheds at Bournville. These were located a little to the south of Bournville station on the west side of the Birmingham West Suburban Railway.
As these photographs show a giant housing estate now covers the whole of the site.
On a visit to Bournville shed on 11th August 1957, Gerald Wadley recorded just three locomotives as being present. These were class 4F 0-6-0 No.44575, standard class 9F No.92104 (both from Toton shed) and class 2F 0-6-0 No.58167 (formerly Midland Railway No.2994) of Saltley shed.
Both photographs taken by Andrew Smith on 11th September 2001.
