The Old Engine Shed
The b-side festival provided a rare opportunity to get inside the Old Engine Shed, Portland. It was built in the mid-19th century to stable the locomotives used in the adjacent Admiralty Quarries. For a period it was also used to stable the horses that worked in the quarrying industry.
Not entirely appropriate to commemorate the type of industrial locomotive used here but as a railroad fanatic Johnny Cash could always be relied on to turn out railroad tunes.
