Cardiff Canton was opened in June 1882 as a six road, 240-foot (73 m)-long shed, built to replace Long Dyke, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Cardiff General station. The GWR enlarged the depot in 1897 with a 55 ft (17 m)-diameter turntable installed in a square locomotive shed with 28 roads radiating of off the turntable.

In 1959 the shed was divided to cope with the introduction of diesel multiple units. In 1961 the shed closed to steam, and all steam locomotives were moved to Radyr. The shed closed completely in November 1964, with the opening of the newly diesel-redeveloped Cardiff Canton TMD. Shortly afterwards the site was cleared for redevelopment. [2]
Its first shed allocation was Old Oak Common; from June 1952 to February 1956 it was based at Carmarthen, before returning again to Old Oak Common. Like all other steam locomotives based there, with the dieselisation of Cardiff Canton TMD it was transferred to Cardiff East Dock shed in September 1962, its last shed allocation.
