Curzon Street Shed: lnwrcs2167a

Close up of image 'lnwrcs2167' showing the 1846 plan of the extended Engine House and the new relocated carriage shed. Access to the Birmingham Canal was still only available via the L&B Tranship shed with the Grand Junction wharf yet to be created. The purpose of the siding located at 90° adjacent to the Grand Junction station's departure platform is unknown. As seen above, the Grand Junction Railway had its own access from Curzon Street into the station yard which led to booking office and departure platform. The two turntables set into the platform would have been used for either to load or off-load road vehicles that has been transported by rail. An example of this type of feature can be seen in image 'lnwrcov1282d' at Coventry station.
