Faversham Wagon Works (adjacent to the engine sheds) on 9 December 2025.
The first (small) engine shed was built in 1858 to the west of Faversham station by the East Kent Railway, which was renamed the London, Chatham and Dover Railway the following year. A larger engine shed was erected to the east of the station in 1860 (on the present site) which was enlarged in 1898 and a wagon repair shop was added at the same time whilst the original EKR engine shed of 1858 was closed.
On electrification of the Kent Coast Line in 1959 the steam allocation of the shed was withdrawn, diesels replacing them. The original 1860 engine shed was demolished at the same time. Only the 1898 engine shed and the wagon repair shop survived. In the 1970's the diesel allocation declined and the depot was just used for rolling stock storage until closure.
The shed was located in the Y formed by the junction of the Faversham - Margate line (on the left) and Faversham - Dover line. Unfortunately, there is no road access to the site nor, so far as I could tell, even footpath access. Consequently, the building has fallen into a dreadful state of disrepair and is gradually reverting to nature. But, owing to its isolated site, it is difficult to see how the building could be practically restored at a reasonable cost or what use it could be put to if it was saved. What a shame for a survivor of the early days of railways.
you could probably fit a whole very light jet inside this engine. we were going west, so the sun was setting for hours.

A Sulzer steam engine that used to produce power for the Finlayson mill can still be seen in its original location. This giant machine was taken into use in 1900 and remains the biggest steam engine ever used in Finland.
Its output was 1,650 horse power and the flywheel has an impressive diameter of more than 8 metres. The engine was in daily use until 1926 and continued to be used as a backup power source until the mid-1950’s.
At the steam engine museum, you can see the Sulzer steam engine itself, tools and equipment used with the engine as well as other objects relating to power production at the Finlayson mill.
I went to this museum to get some of the missing shots for the 111 Pictures in 2011 project,

This is a HDR processed single Jpeg that went through the cleaners a couple of times. I'm actually quite pleased with result as I wasn't expecting it to be anything. When pushing HDR this far or toning mapping to be more precise, it's better suited when there are more colours in the picture. While one of the finest engines ever built, the Bentley motor isn't exactly the most intresting. Best viewed Large
Coming our way to look after, following a couple of passes on the auction block before the hammer finally fell in our favor. Yea!
