Looking across the tracks of the sub-depot towards the Signal Department building with the passenger station behind

Looking across the tracks of the sub-depot towards the Signal Department building with the passenger station behind. Prior to the installation of the coaling plant coal was stored in coal stacks at various points across the yard. There was always a very large amount stacked because of the need to avoid any issues relating to industrial action by miners etc. Note the loco coal wagons in the foreground are from all the post-grouping companies except the LMS itself reflecting the advantages of adopting a 'common user' policy.
