LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Albany Road Bridge: lnwrar1543

Looking down Albany Road towards Coventry which lay beyond the bridge and with Broomfield Road on the left

Looking down Albany Road towards Coventry which lay beyond the bridge and with Broomfield Road on the left. On the left is an early garage whilst immediately above the bridge a noticeboard hanging from the wires would be warning passengers to be seated as they passed under the railway bridge. This warning notice was needed when the trams were open top (see image 'lnwrar1552') because the overhead electricity lines were lower under the bridge than otherwise. The tender of what appears to be a LNWR 0-8-0 locomotive can be seen on the right of the bridge.
