Lawley Street Goods Depot: mrls308b

This close up of image 'mrls308' shows the front of the depot with box vans standing on the approach roads. The number of entrances to the warehouse was four but with different capacities in respect of the number of tracks entering inside. The first two entrances were five road, the third entrance was three roads whilst the last entrance was two roads. The cast iron columns seen in the middle of the entrances were necessary to support the considerable weight of the two floors above the tracks and decks. It was here that the grain would be stored and other goods waiting for either the customer to collect or be delivered.
