Years ago, _~20yrs_, a few friends and I used to sneak through the woodland at Oil Sites Road location near Ellesmere Port in Cheshire and play on an abandoned brake and guard carriages (2?) that were rotting away at this further track of this siding. It was on furtherest out line that now looks to be covered in forest. I recall that we only had to walk about 50m through the woodland and in front there was at least 8 tracks before the main two lines so according the Google earth this is now forest, also there was certainly no island woodland as shown today, it was quite active (a few trains an afternoon)

What was the name of this depot? The office was to the left.

And is there any photos from this time?

We got chased off by security a few times, good fun. If it helps identify, the dark red EWR trains used to be doing some work a few lines after often.
