View of Nuneaton shed from the branch line to Coventry showing the locomotive shed and the concrete built 'relief drivers' shelter. The small hut at the bottom of the telegraph pole is a fogman's hut and was used during foggy weather to control access to and from the shed. The fogman would be in touch with the signal box by telephone and on their instructions would put detonators on the rail to sound warnings to the drivers.
