01(c). Gloucester Horton Road Depot
22nd May 2006

Horton Road depot was my childhood haunt. By 1986 I had a camera and the depot was one of my most frequent subjects. In those days the depot was usually home to classes 31, 37, 47 and 56. Peaks were still regular visitors to Gloucester, although mainly on parcels traffic by this time and 50s were not infrequent on passenger or civil engineer's workings. The depot has now been reopened by Cotswold Rail. So many of my earlier photos feature the depot that I have put them into this separate section.
