Close up of image 'mrcgy695' showing the remodelled sidings
which were sited between the warehouse and Severn Street. The upper quadrant
signal is permitting the former Midland Railway 3F to draw forward. In the
centre in the background there appear to be a number of horse-drawn wagons
standing. Birmingham Central Goods station was one of the three major goods
depots that lay within the City of Birmingham and was the last to open.
Originally opened on 1st July 1887 as Worcester Wharf, the depot lay between
Holliday, Allport, Suffolk and Navigation Streets. Expansion of the depot saw
the name being changed on 1st June 1892 to 'Birmingham Central Goods Depot'
which it carried until its closure on 17th December 1967.
