Nine Elms Locomotive Works

Thereafter a large steam motive power depot remained open on the site until 1967, serving Waterloo railway station.

They were rebuilt and from 1843 were used to construct over one hundred new locomotives for the company, to the designs of John Viret Gooch and Joseph Hamilton Beattie.

The carriage and wagon shops were therefore transferred to Eastleigh in Hampshire in 1891, allowing for the temporary expansion of the locomotive works and the nearby motive power depot.

The principal function of the adjoining motive power depot was to provide and service locomotives for Waterloo railway station.

The original motive power depot was opened on the north side of the main line by the London and Southampton Railway on 21 May 1838.
