LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Lichfield

Sutton Coldfield: lnwrsc92b

This close up of image 'lnwrsc92' was included primarily to show the water tank. The water tank would have supplied the adjacent goods yard which is on the left of the photographer out of sight. On the top right hand side can be seen the "ballcock" which controlled the entry into the tank. Whilst superficially it might appear that a siding was located underneath this was not, as far as is known, the case. The lack of soot on the side of the tank and white timber building immediately behind would indicate that no track existed.
