GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley and Duddeston: gwrhd715

The photographer, standing on the corner of All Saints Street and Pitsford Street, has managed to capture the length of the yard as the top of the road in the distance marks the southern most point. The photograph also illustrates how markedly Pitsford Street "dipped" in the middle which created the opportunity for the GWR to connect to the station via a subway/tunnel. The preparation work for the building of the new Top shed can be seen in the foreground whilst the old North Gate can be seen just past the lone figure on the right. 11th July 1938
