As a youngster (b. 1959) I always took the steam trains for granted and never for a moment thought these incredible beasts would one day be fazed out. To see what we have now lost is very depressing. Travelling by Fishwicks bus from Leyland to Preston used to take us over the bridges at Lostock Hall and you could see the scale of this marshalling yard and all the engines parked up there. I witnessed all the vandalism as the yard became obsolete and now nothing is left of this place.
Thanks for uploading a piece of our history from the great age of steam.
We were losing our old friends. It was a sad time to be a steam enthusiast.
Nothing left of the shed now and you would never think there had been a shed at Lostock Hall either now.
Same with Stoke 5D, its now home to The Range and Topps Tiles !
excellent video of days gone by👍 I bet it's seen some changes since then 🤔nice to see it was filmed
As a kid ,where i lived on Croston rd, I could see the coal hopper at lostock hall depot from my bedroom window. I remember climbing into the cabs of the steam engines at the side of the shed .
Absolutely nothing is left of Lostock Hall shed now, most of it at the end closest the West Coast Main Line has been built over including the southern end of the site which now has a park built over it. But where the engine shed building itself was remains unbuilt on. You never would have thought there had ever been an engine shed there.
