Shedplate 70D Basingstoke 1950-September 1963 then Eastleigh closed to steam July 1967. The ex LSWR shed at Basingstoke was most noted for being home to the Remembrance 4-6-0s in its small allocation in the 1950s. Eastleigh, also ex LSWR, took over the code when Basingstoke lost its allocation. Basingstoke however remained open for servicing until the end of SR steam. Eastleigh's allocation of 100 locos contained no fewer than 36 Bullied Light Pacifics during this period. Face restored condition with typical Southern region casting marks on the front.
