Another view of the first floor at Birmingham Central Good Depot's warehouse

Another view of the well lit first floor at Birmingham Central Good Depot's warehouse showing boxes of Quaker Oats. As can be seen the roof is built using timber joists and beams with planking laid beneath the tiled roof and all supported on steel columns and beams. The two pipes seen on either side at the top of the column indicates that that the rainwater was collected from gullies running between the pitched roofs before being directed into the down pipes which in turn were emptied via the steel column.
