GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley Station: gwrhd691

Looking south showing the Outward and Tranship shed and sidings and a GWR 0-6-0ST on the connecting lines

Looking south showing the Outward and Tranship shed and sidings and a GWR 0-6-0ST on the connecting lines circa 1914. The yard was to be heavily remodelled in the 1930s and the above shed was demolished and replaced by the much larger 'Top Shed' which combined 'Inwards, Outwards and Tranship facilities'. This view, taken at the beginning of the First World War, shows that a substantial amount of freight was moved in open wagons compared to twenty or so years later when Box vans predominated. The enclosed area on the right has been formed with iron railings and appears to be grassed and paved with borders etc.
