The engine shed was built between 1888 and 1898 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. It is constructed of red brick and is single-storey, of eight bays and with stone-coped gable ends. The coal stage and water tank were on the north-east side of the line at the southern entrance. It first closed in 1935 but was then reopened in 1942. It closed again to steam in 1954 but got a second lease of life via by the railway preservation group The Dinting Railway Centre in 1968. This closed in 1990 and the shed was again left disused. The whole nine-acre site went up for sale in 2010 and was sold for £150,000 to a group of Manchester solicitors.
