Is there a "definitive" work - or as near definitive as possible - on engine sheds over time to the present day (or nearly)? Ideally with the main facts arranged as tables for easy reference rather than narrative.
Locations
Dates operational (from and to)
Codes used (from and to)
Sub-shed relationships
Railway companies associated.
It could be a book, a website etc. I have various books where shed data is ancillary to the main purpose:
What would you recommend?

- Roger Harris's allocation histories have sheds from 1948 to about 2015.
- https://www.brdatabase.info/ seems quite good as an online source but it ignores the privatised railway, and doesn't handle sub-sheds consistently
- Various Ian Allan shed directories - these are snapshots in time
- The Engine Shed Society publishes spreadsheets about what became of most sheds
What would you recommend?
