Wapping Wharf
Alongside the Floating Harbour in the Bristol Docks area is ‘M Shed’ which now a museum. These transit warehouses were served by an extensive rail network and in this view GWR pannier tank 3731 is shunting at Princes Quay in the mid 1950s. Attached is a shunters truck which is marked as being dedicated to use in the Wapping Wharf area.
At this time the locomotive was allocated to Bristol St Phillips Marsh shed 82B moving west to St Blazey 83E in Cornwall in 1961, before being transferred to Neath Court Sart shed 87A in 1962 for its last two years before withdrawal.
