Brewery Lane MPD is a fictional O gauge engine shed in south Somerset.
A brewery stood on the site from about 1820 until it closed around 1930. It supplied beer and ale to pubs all around, and being next to the railway, it had its own rail connection.
When the brewery closed, the Southern Railway bought the site and built a 60ft turntable and engine sheds, using the old buildings as offices and stores. Later, as British Railways brought in diesels, it added a maintenance and fuelling depot for passing trains. Now the shed serves both steam and diesel, with a coaling stage.
