Monument Lane Shed: lnwrmlsh81

Looking towards Wolverhampton with the shed being of a non-standard design

Other than what appears to be an ex-LNWR 0-6-2T no other locomotive is evident at the shed indicating it must be a weekday. The photographer is looking in the general direction of Wolverhampton with the main line from New Street to Wolverhampton on the right out of view. The shed, known to enginemen as the "new shed" was built in 1884 to a non-standard LNWR design with two pitched roofs instead of the normal northlight pettern arrangement.
