Interestingly enough the GWR had a form of container dating back to the 1930s or possibly earlier. This wasn't anything like the modern ISO box, but instead was designed to fit on a standard 10ft wheelbase flatbed 4-wheel wagon. They could be unloaded by crane and complete their journey by road. They were very popular for removals services (long before people could hire a van to move house) and some specials also existed - insulated examples for perishable goods and a type for cement transport to name but two. I think the last of them were probably retired around the 1950s, I know they lasted into early BR days but not precisely when they were retired.
