These two wagons were until recently parked alongside the barge arm at Gloucester Docks. Little is known about their activities beyond the last twenty years which were spent storing lengths of timber at Sharpness Docks. During this time their central falling doors were removed to make loading and unloading easier. Although they now boast a smart grey livery with the initials of the Docks applied to them, the exact nature of their markings is unknown. Any pictures of them in action at Sharpness would be welcomed by the Museum!
