WINTER NIGHT AT DIDCOT

The original Great Western Railway Engine Shed was built in 1932, using loans provided by the government to relieve unemployment. Now it's the centrepiece of the Didcot Railway Centre, a unique collection of Great Western Railway steam locomotives, carriages and buildings in a 21 acre living museum, 

This night the main shed is half full of smoke and steam with period dressed locomotive crews, cleaners, fitters and a works foreman.
