Coventry Station: lnwrcov554a

This close up of image "lnwrcov554" shows the passenger station area. The original London & Birmingham station building can be seen bottom left. Immediately above the L & B building is the parcels buildings, a brick structure facing us with four windows and, below and to the right, the timber framed structure.

On the bottom right is the original L & B shed and pump house with a plume of steam showing that it is working raising water. To its right, partly hidden by a tree, is the entrance to the "incline machine" a ramp used to disgorge large numbers of passengers. The main station buildings were located on platform 1, the up platform, and the glazed canopy entrance is seen opposite Eaton Road where the tram is standing.

The three bridges are, commencing from the bottom, the passenger footbridge, the luggage lift and bridge, and Stoney Road bridge. C1919
