Am I right in thinking there were once three loco sheds in Hereford?

A Great Western Shed to the south of Barton station - the one that continued into modern days as 85C.

A shed located by Brecon Curve Junction - presumably originally Midland Railway for its Brecon line?

A small shed on the east side of the line north of Barrs Court - originally LNWR for its joint line from Shrewsbury?

Can anyone clarify?

Not a definite fact, but I came across something that suggests that the Midland’s loco was later stabled at the Great Western shed. If so, this would presumably end with the creation of the LMS when it would go to the LNWR one.

The ex Midland shed closed in 1924 and the engines and men “transferred” to the ex LNWR shed. When that closed in 1938, the engines were dealt with and stabled at the GWR shed.

That may be what the decidedly unclear reference I found was referring to.

Many thanks.
