View of the top floor of the Midland Railway's Central Goods
Yard Warehouse and the method of shipping and storing goods. The Central Goods
facilities included a multi-storey building which acted for both goods in
transit as well as providing a storage service for customers. The sacks shown
above stacked in separate lots according to the customer. The need to document
the arrival and departure of each load was essential and the clerks desk was
sited adjacent to the crane used to lift goods from the floor to the exit on
the ground floor (or vice-versa). Note the importance of the roof lights for
creating a well lit working environment.
