Description
The railway engine shed, located approximately 200 metres north-east of the junction with Deighton Road, is a disused structure likely built around 1850 for the York and North Midland Railway. It features ashlar gritstone dressings on coursed, squared magnesian limestone walling and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is single-storey with a layout of three by two bays.
On the north side, there is a plinth and an impost band above three round-arched openings, which have raised keystones. The central opening contains boarded doors, while the side openings are blind below the impost and boarded above. The left end of the roof is hipped, and the right end is gabled.
The south side has horizontally-sliding doors on the left and two lunettes above the impost band on the right. The left return features two boarded round-arched openings and shows the shadow of a former adjoining building. The right return has two blocked round-arched openings, with remnants of a lunette arch in the wall between them and sockets below the eaves at each corner for a mid-rail of a canopy that has since been removed.
This shed was part of the Church Fenton to Spofforth line, which opened in 1847 and was connected to Harrogate the following year. It was built to the same design as the engine shed at Thorp Arch Station, which still has its canopy.
