(Like many Sheds in areas subjected to bombing during the War, there was little glass in the roof, so 'indoor' photography was possible without flash). This was a rare engine originating on the former H&B Railway, J75 0-6-0T No. 8365, which ended its career at the little-known Cheshire Lines (CLC) Depot at Walton-on-the-Hill on the long-gone Huskisson branch. In spite of its importance in servicing locomotives of freight trains for Huskisson and the other North Liverpool dockyard stations, which came and went far and wide - also Specials for the Grand National once a year, Walton had only a small allocation of engines for local work. In 1947 the allocation of 16 comprised:- 2 4-4-0, 7 0-6-0, 5 0-6-2T and 2 0-6-0T. Although Walton Yard lasted until 1968 and Huskisson Goods until 1978, Walton Shed was closed in December 1963, all CLC lines and depots having been in the London Midland Region since Nationalisation in 1948.
