UTTOXETER LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (5F) - Opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1901, this was a 3-road brick dead-end shed located in the triangle of lines, on the north side of the station. The allocation in March 1959 was just 7 engines, 4 Class 4P 2-6-4T's and 3 MR Class 4F 0-6-0's, all employed on local services. From 1960 onwards, the depot was used to store withdrawn engines alongside its normal activities until it closed in December 1964. Seen here are Class 4P 2-6-4T No.42224, withdrawn from 10D Lostock Hall in January 1967, and Class 5F 'Crab' 2-6-0 No.42926, withdrawn from 10F Rose Grove in October 1964.
