This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Victorian Railway Engine Shed - Built by Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) in 1848, this 6 track engine shed is a rare largely original building. At first the Midland Railway had half the shed. In 1862 ECR became Great Eastern Railway and in 1923 London & North Eastern Railway. A turntable was nearby. The Shed's operational use ceased in 1939. Its role then became storage and letting. Owned by British Railways 1948-93, it hten passed to Railtrack, Network Rail and in 2003 the East of England Development Agency. Grade 2 Listing was granted in 1992, which includes the adjacent ECR Goods Sheds. Recorded plaque organisation: Peterborough Civic Society.
