Blackpool Central MPD
The steam shed at Blackpool Central was quickly demolished and turned into a coach park soon after closure in 1964, although for many years it was just a compacted ash surface. More recently the whole area has been improved and there are no clues as to its former role. This picture looks north towards the site of the station itself from what would have been the depot yard, with the shed building located where the lorry is parked. Blackpool football ground is immediately behind the camera. Since this photograph was taken the car park has closed with houses built on the site.See image 28650 showing the shed in its heyday servicing visiting locomotives from far and wide.
