| Notes: | The original shed at Lostock Hall was located east of Lostock Hall station on the north side of the line. It is believed to have been a 2 track straight through shed, but no further details are known. It was replaced on the south side of the station by a brick built 8 track straight dead-ended shed with a northlight pattern roof. This shed was opened on 30th October 1881. Facilities included a turntable and a coal stage with a water tank above. In 1953, the shed was re-roofed with a transverse pitched roof by LMR. The depot was one of the last steam depots to close and the building remained standing and used by a BR Engineering Department until 1988. It was demolished in January 1990. | |
