Prototype History of this grade 2 listed building at the Great Western Society, Didcot, Oxfordshire (was Berkshire back then).
History: The Didcot coal stage was built to a standard GWR design for a non-mechanical facility. Although a standard which appeared in some form at almost all the GWR motive power depots it is probably now the only surviving example and certainly the only one still in service. Didcot coal stage was built as one of the government funded improvements to the GWR in the 1930s under the Development (Loans, Guarantees and Grants) Act (1929) which was designed to provide employment in the Depression. It has been little altered and is now the only example in England still in use for its original purpose. The shed was closed by British Rail in June 1965 but continues in use by the Great Western Society.
