Station Name: BANGOR

Bangor locomotive shed looking south-east from the footbridge that connected the down platform of Bangor station to the goods yard in the late 1930s. Over the years there were three sheds at Bangor. The first was ooened by the Chester & Holyhead Railway on 1 May 1848. When the LNWR absorbed the Chester & Holyhead on 1 January 1859 they replaced the shed, probably in the same year, with a five road structure. In 1884 Bangor station was enlarged and the shed had to be moved. It was replaced by a standard LNWR six road Northlight shed which is seen in this view.
