Stationary winding engine house


Information kindly provided by the Camden Railway Heritage Trust. Photo by Dan Cruickshank. Pictures taken in 2008 of the vaults which housed the stationery winding engines based in Camden. The earliest locomotives were not powerful enough to climb the incline out of Euston on their own and so the winding engines pulled the trains by rope up the incline from Euston to Camden from October 1837 until 1844. The vaults– part of a larger engine house on the surface and built by Robert Stephenson – are now Grade II listed and located under the main line just north of Regent’s Canal bridge.

Figure and information kindly provided by the Camden Railway Heritage Trust. The stationary engine house built by Robert Stephenson – to power the winding rope that brought the earliest trains out of Euston - had two prominent chimneys that were 133 feet high and tapered from 12 feet diameter at the base to 6 feet at the top. The picture also shows Fitzroy road bridge over the Regent’s Canal, close to where The Engineer stands; the old Chalk Farm Tavern on the eastern edge of Primrose Hill; Hampstead village and Parliament Hill; the Regent’s Canal; and the first locomotive engine house at Camden Goods Depot.
