Are there other photos of it? (It has been described on a Facebook page as the Midland Roundhouse: I’m very doubtful of that).

Top shed
Can anyone identify the wooden building to the right of Sansovino?

Re: Top shed
It's the coaling stage.
Rather camera shy, there are a few partial views of it in ‘Top Shed’ (Townend, 1975) and ‘Great Northern Engine Sheds’ Vol 1 (Griffiths & Hooper, 1989).
This is the probably the best shot I’ve seen of it, which isn’t brilliant, but does at least demonstrate that it isn’t the Midland Roundhouse, since that is the thing in the right background. (Murray Houchin Hughes Collection/LNER Society)

Re: Top shed
Thanks, Darryl. I thought it was, but couldn’t put that view into context.
