BRADFORD MANNINGHAM LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (20E/55F) - The Midland Railway opened this depot in 1872 on the east side of Manningham Station. It consisted of a brick-built roundhouse. In January 1957 it was transferred from the Midland Region to the North Eastern Region but this made little difference to the locomotives that used it. In March 1959, the allocation was 25 engines, all of them ex-LMS types, 7 Class 3F/4F 0-6-0's, 6 Class 4MT/5F 2-6-0's, 10 tank engines for passenger duties, 1 Class 3F 'Jinty' 0-6-0 shunting tank and 1 Class 4P 'Compound' 4-4-0. By April 1965, this had been reduced to just 11 engines, 4 2-6-4T's and 7 2-6-0's. The depot closed in April 1967. Seen here in 1967 is the coaling stage - looks like hard work!
