Hockley Station: gwrhd683b

Close up of image 'gwrhd683' showing the proximity of Hockley station to 'Top' shed and the plethora of access roads and sidings. The shunting spur, which Frank Popplewell described in his series of articles in the GWR Railway Journal as going nearly all the way to Winson Green & Soho, is seen above running beneath the bridge carrying All Saints Street over the railway and currently occupied by a train of box vans.
