GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley Station: gwrhd724a

Close up showing an unidentified GWR 0-6-0PT and shunters truck standing on the middle road within the shed

Close up of image 'gwrhd724' showing an unidentified GWR 0-6-0PT locomotive and shunters truck standing on the middle road within the shed. The deck on the left was now used to store goods rather than handle incoming goods for shipping to local businesses. Frank Popplewell recounts that the use of 0-6-0PT locomotives was common for a while and that when they entered the shed it would soon fill with smoke and obliterate all of the activities. However this was stopped when on one occasion sparks set alight debris and straw on the deck and in the four foot between the rails.
