Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Victorian engine shed at the former Peterborough East Station This Grade II listed Victorian engine shed was part of the former Peterborough East station, which was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) in June 1845. As the city's first railway station, it was initially known simply as Peterborough until being renamed Peterborough East in July 1923. Passenger services on the line to Northampton were discontinued in May 1964 and freight services from Peterborough East were terminated in April 1966. The remaining passenger services on the route to Rugby were withdrawn in June 1966 although the station continued to serve as a parcel depot until December 1970. The site was proposed in 1971 as a possible location for the National Railway Museum (although this was eventually located in York, opening in 1975). The station building was demolished in 1972. The turntable was acquired by the Nene Valley Railway (NVR) in 1977 and moved to Wansford, leaving the engine shed plus adjacent goods sheds and a section of the main platform as the only remaining structures. The Peterborough to Ely line, which runs past the site, is still in use. The engine sheds are earmarked for conversion as part of a redevelopment of the Fletton Quays area of the city costing £120 million (GBP 120 million) and involving the construction of riverfront residential properties, offices and leisure facilities. |
