A little morning mooch about this place,

Formerly a shed yard as part of the Dinting station on what was the Grand Central railway sometime in the 1840's (sources online indicate 1848), in latter years it became a subshed of British rail designated the shed code '39As' (s being for subshed, as it was a little 'un :) )
It was also the first junction west of the 1980's closed 'Woodhead' route running into Manchester from Sheffield.

In 1969 it was home to the Bahamas locomotive society & housed many vintage 'kettles' until a landowner dispute occured in 1991 whereupon the society vacated the premises & moved the the Keighley & Worth Valley railway at Ingrow.
The place has been pretty much derelict in the 19 years since that time...
