Hi

 

I'm trying to collect as many photos of GWR BR WR sheds. Does anyone no of any good books or magazines that may have good photos in of these?

 

Kind regards Neil

The OPC book by E Lyons covers every GWR shed as of the last day of the GWR, 31 December 1947.

It also includes any built by BR during the steam age.

Or there is this:

Eddie Lyons produced a second book, as joint author, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Historical-Survey-Great-Western-Engine/dp/086093019X/ref=la_B001KMKPTI_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1536333477&sr=1-1

But that doesn't cover BR WR era, hence I didn't mention it..

(I have that one as well)

There's also Diesels and Electrics on Shed Volume Three Western Region by Rex Kennedy. It's a 1980s publication by OPC. You should be able to get one cheaply on Ebay. Obviously it's the diesel era but some nice photos there.

Sorry to have stepped on your toes, but the original post asked rather ambiguously about GWR BR WR sheds, which, to me, opened up the field a bit, although I have now noticed that the title of the post is just BR WR sheds. Mea culpa.
