Close up of image 'lnwrcov569' showing the transhipment area on the ground floor of Coventry No 1 goods shed and the wide variety of goods traffic carried. Whilst some goods might be off-loaded directly from rail to road other goods were put in to store above ground level and dispatched by the railway's own delivery vehicles. To aid this process chutes from the first floor carried the goods down to the trailers ready for transporting.
