It was used mainly to stable passenger and mixed-traffic locomotives for use on trains from the nearby Sheffield Midland station.
The shed was built next to Millhouses railway station; it had 8 dead end roads, and could handle about forty steam locomotives.
In December 2015 it was demolished and the site is now on the market as development land.
The former shed yard is now the home of the large Tesco supermarket on Abbeydale Road
