Lawley Street Goods Depot: mrls430

This photograph shows the grain being stored inside the Midland Railway's Birmingham Lawley Street goods depot. The sacks have been stored in discrete sections indicating that they have been sorted either by customer or by the date received to assist in rotation.

The grain is being stored on the third floor of the three storey warehouse as indicated by the top lights in the roof. The fixed small crane has a number of sacks suspended and, as porters are bringing sacks to the crane, it is presumed they are being lowered through the floors to waiting road transport for distribution. 21 May 1912
