Portmadoc/Porthmadog engine shed (89Cs) - North Wales Tour - May 1959

An old photograph taken on a 'North Wales Tour' shed bash in May 1959, of Portmadoc (Porthmadog post 1974) engine/locomotive shed (a sub shed of Machynlleth 89C). Behind the two road shed is an office and water tank, then what I think is the station, the shed closed in Aug 1963.
