GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hockley Station: gwrhd676
View taken on 12th February 1940 of the main entrance to the
yard for road vehicles entering via Pitsford Street. This is the northern end
of Pitsford Street with the new 'Top shed' being developed on the left. Beyond
the gates, in the middle distance, a single storey building can be seen. This
was the site of the stables now being used for a variety of purposes including
a bicycle shed for staff and due to be demolished as part of the redevelopment
of this part of the yard. The stable block was so extensive it reached this
gate which was several hundred feet away from the office block. The demolition
of the stable block can be seen in image 'gwrhd685a'. The weigh bridge and office are
immediately beyond the gates. At the time of the photograph, the main cartage
deck, which is on the left, was still in the early stages of construction.
