british railways closed mantle lane motive power depot at coalville in 1990. its "category a" status was a clerical error, and was in fact a "category c". the british railways depot on the site was unusual in that it had no fuelling points, fitters or any other shed facilities. locomotives would be taken in ferries to nearby (until it closed) or for refuelling, water and sandbox filling. this perhaps shows why it was a surprise to find it as an a-listed depot. little remains at the site which hints at its formerly busy railway past. two tracks remain where once lay four 'on shed' as it were.
