Another 1920 aerial view of Coventry Goods Yard this one
showing the long siding on the left which led to the coal wharfs. The wharfs
were located in the 'V' between this long siding and the throat to the goods
yard. Forming the top boundary and just visible running left to right from the
centre of the photograph, is the remains of the embankment of the second
footbridge which once crossed the Nuneaton and Birmingham lines. This second
footbridge was supported in the centre, in the 'V' between the two sets of
lines. See image 'lnwrcov2769b' for a diagram
showing the embankment and 'lnwrcov3255' for a
Six inch to the Mile OS map showing it too. This siding was to serve the
abattoir which was to be built in the early 1930s.
