Were engines turned at Lower Ince shed?

There was a turntable jarvo

The turntable was at the side of the canal The engine would uncouple from the carriages travelsnd reverse past them from the station, pass the signal box beside the canal ,over the canal bridge into a siding onto the turntable which would be physically pushed round by the driver and fireman,and the engine would return to the station station in reverse to couple up to what had been the last carriages As children we played on this turntable and repeatedly warned of the dangers and chased off by the signal man (Or as it was in the war Signalwomen)
