This photograph was taken on the same day as image 'mrls303' but shows a view looking in the other direction, this time towards Saltley. The photographer has walked past Lawley Street 'B' signal box and set up his camera on one of the grounded bodies seen in image 'mrls303'. This allows us to see the 1200 yard approach to the depot from Duddeston Road Junction as well as the opposite end of the signal box. One of Saltley's Johnson 0-6-0T half-cabs, seen earlier, is shunting a short train alongside the box. When moving vans and wagons within the yard guard vans were not required although there was probably a shunter supervising the movement, although in this instance he is not in view.
