Coventry Station: lnwrcov554c

This close up of image "lnwrcov554" shows the goods yard to the extreme top left of the full photograph. At the bottom can be seen the footbridge, its brick rampart on the left also containing stables and storage for silage. The shed above the rampart on the left was built by the MR under running agreements that originated from the 1870s. Above this building is the entrance to the goods yard via Warwick Road.

In between the two buildings is a small crane used to load/unload wagons, in this instance timber appears to be the most recent load unloaded. Most of the wagons appear to be open wagons although it is highly unlikely that any would be carrying coal as these would have gone to Coundon Wharf, Coventry's main depot for coal, just one stop down the Nuneaton branch.
