GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hockley Station: gwrhd683
Looking north towards Top shed and beyond to the canal wharf
with the lines to Wolverhampton on the right in June 1940. The building of the
Top shed and its approach roads would have been hampered by the war and the
demands made up on materials, labour and resources. The goods yard would have
still had to function as normal throughout the period of construction, with
traffic levels now substantially greater due to the war as well as the need to
operate under black out restrictions at night.
