GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hockley Station: gwrhd724a
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.
