Thank you for this. Yes I do have a copy of Monague's book, it is one of my go to sources. That is a very interesting photo, I shall have to see if I can get a high resolution copy from the NRM. I haven't been able to find a reference for the Wigston site, only the ones I have mentioned. i shall add this to the list of locations. Thank you. This is a relatively new project that I am starting and I am trying to undertake all the research I have before starting the main project itself. Thank you again, this information will come in extremely useful in the future. Kindest regards, Aaron

Thank you for this. I have just acquired a copy of The Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway by M.R.C. Price. On page 90 there is a diagram of Sandy Jnc from 1910 which shows a Wagon Repair Workshops (J. Waddell & Sons) and another Wagon Repair Workshops on old Brickyard site. On page 94 it mentions "In 1917 siding accommodation was provided at Victoria Road yard for the repair of Wagons, and the telephone was installed. I have also acquired a copy of The Burry Port and Gwendreath Valley Railway and its Antecedent Canals, Volume Two: The Railway and Dock by R.W. Miller and on page 191 it states "Private sidings were also provided for wagon repairs in Burry Port - Owen & Bevan & Co. and the North Central Wagon Co. who erected a repair shed in 1894 and which had become Wagon Repairs Ltd by March 1921..." I was therefore wondering if you may have any further information regarding the above that could possibly help me find the exact location and possible photos of the site? Thank you in advance and all the best. With kindest regards, Aaron

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone could possibly help. I am currently researching the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Limited (GRCW) and Wagon Repairs Limited facilities and locations. from my research so far I have discovered: Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Limited Had over 600 wagon repair depots by 1886/7 including: - Aberdare/Hirwaun - Brentford - Birkenhead - Chester - Cardiff - Hereford - Lydney - London - Newport - Penarth - Pontypool - Reading - Swindon - Swansea Wagon Repairs Limited Wagon Repairs Limited founded in 1918, Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company was a major corporate shareholder and its then chairman was also a personal shareholder. Wagon Repairs Limited depots included: - Stoke on Trent - Swansea - Cardiff - Bridgend - Barry - Llanelly(i) - Newport - Aberdare - Llanharan - Lydney - St. Philips (Bristol) - Radstock Although I am interested in all of the depots and areas mentioned above, I am particularly interested with those in South Wales, especially Llanlley/Llanelli. I was wondering if anyone here may have photographs, maps, drawings or information relating to any of the above GRCW or Wagon Repairs Ltd. sites? Thank you all in advance.
