Description

The former Eaton Railway Engine Shed, located 100 metres north of Eaton Hall Cottages, is a narrow gauge railway engine shed built around 1895. It features red brick walls and a grey slate roof, complemented by a cantilevered canopy along the east side supported by nine shaped timber brackets. The end gables are half-timbered, and there are framed and boarded double doors at the north end. This shed was used to house the locomotives of the private Eaton Estate railway, which connected with the public railway system at Balderton.
