I don't understand your question; or it's relevance to this thread, sorry!

Please expand and if we are able to help, we will.

I have a copy of the Alan Godfrey map of Holbeck and New Wortley for 1906.
This area was and still is a massive railway complex of junctions etc.   At least 3 railway companies had lines in the area.

On the back of the map is a lenghty description of the area.   Included is-

"Additional employment could also be found in the nearby Engine Shed which included an Enginemen's Home presumably for lodging turns"

By nearby the writer means near Holbeck and Victoria Mills.  The nearest engine shed to those mills was at the junction of Ninevah Road and Sweet Street.

If this query has not been resolved by now I hope this helps.
