LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Coundon Road: lnwrcr41a

This close up of image 'lnwrcr41' shows the signal box, level crossing and station master's house which were opposite the end of sidings 1, 2, and 3. According an undated diagram of the wharf in Preston Hendry and Powell Hendry's book 'LMS Stations' siding 1, which has the lorry parked at its end by the buffers, was fitted with a weighbridge to facilitate coal merchants being able to quantify the loads arriving at the wharf.

Adjacent to siding 4, behind the nearest lamppost, a Bedford lorry is being loaded with the aid of a mobile conveyor belt. In the foreground is the lever controlling the points to sidings 2 and 3.
