Ross-on-Wye Engine Shed 2 March 2003

Ross-on-Wye lost its railway during the Beeching cuts of the 1960s. The passenger station closed in November 1964, and the goods yard a year later. Although the station building has been demolished, the goods shed and the engine shed survive. The impressive 1855 built engine shed is pictured on 2 March 2003, when there was an unobstructed view of the building from the Ross bypass. Trees now largely hide the former broad gauge structure from view. Note the wagon positioned at the far end of the building.
