Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1774

Elevated view from the Queens Hotel looking towards the top of Queens Drive and its junction with Navigation Street and below rolling stock standing in Coffee House Bay. Coffee Tavern is the elevated building behind the rolling stock and was accessed via dog-legged staircase. The 'tunnel' mouth to the right was actually part of Navigation Street bridge the top of which has been used to erect work huts which were accessed via gate out on to the bridge. The huts were used by workmen who were working on Navigation Street bridge and who had closed half of the width of the road on the bridge, part of the barriers are just in view on the right.
