What a pity that no one has corrected the mistaken naming of the former goods warehouse as an ‘engine shed’.
Whittingham, like Mindrum, had what the North Eastern Railway described as a ‘four wagon warehouse’ unlike the much smaller ‘two wagon’ types provided for Akeld, Glanton, Hedgeley, Ilderton and Wooperton.
The only engine shed provided for locomotives working the Alnwick-Cornhill line was at Alnmouth, although there were turntables at both Alnwick and Cornhill.
