NOTTINGHAM LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (16A) - The Midland Railway built 3 brick roundhouse sheds at Nottoingam, a hugely important centre of traffic for them. Their suburban network was large and widespread and much of the coal produced locally was forwarded form here. A number of premier passenger services to St Pancras and cross country services originated here. The 1959 allocation was 96 engines. This photo, undated, shows ex-GCR Class D11 'Director' 4-4-0 No.62660 BUTLER-HENDERSON, carrying a 40A Lincoln shedplate, its home from November 1953 to April 1957. It was withdrawn in November 1960 and is preserved in the Nation Collection under its old GCR number 506.
