English: Hereford (Barton) Locomotive Depot and Yards.
View southward, towards Red Hill Junction, Pontypool Road and Newport. This Depot was situated on the west side of the Moorfields Loop (Barrs Court Junction - Red Hill Junction) that by-passed Barrs Court, the main Hereford Station. Coded 85C, it had an allocation of about 50 locomotives in the 1950s, which catered for secondary passenger and freight traffic and yard work in the area, but to a limited extent on the main Shrewsbury - Hereford - Newport axis. In 1963 the allocation would have dwindled, but in early 1954 the following types were on its books: 8 'Hall' and 1 'Manor' 4-6-0s, 11 2-6-0s, 7 0-6-0s, 2 2-8-2Ts, 1 0-6-2T, 15 0-6-0Ts and 7 0-4-2Ts. The Depot was closed on 2/11/64, the Loop being disused from 8/66.
