Viewed from the Barrow Road bridge, the depot is seen here in its dying days - it was closed on 20/11/65 - and just three ex-GWR 4-6-0s ('Grange' Nos. 6857/72 and 'Hall' No. 6910) are in view, displaced from Bristol St Philips Marsh. The Depot had been a major one of the Midland (later LMSR), serving their main line into Bristol from Birmingham, Derby and the North.
