Canklow Engine Shed was a Traction Maintenance Depot located in Canklow, Rotherham, England. The depot opened in 1900 and was situated on the Midland Main Line, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Rotherham Masborough station.[2] The depot area had six lines; three of these fed into just one line that went through the shed, whilst the other three were sidings, one of which had the coal stage.[3]

The shed closed in 1965 and was later demolished with a housing estate erected on the site in 1990.[4]

History

From 1963 to 1967, Class 25, 37 and 46 locomotives could be seen at the depot.[5]
