Nechells Power Station: nechells109

Another view of the coal unloading area of Princes Power Station, with several empty Private Owner (P.O.) 7 plank open wagons and two 5 plank Great Western Railway open wagons on the siding adjacent to the canal dock in the foreground. These pictures appear to have been taken while the Power Station was in the final stages of construction circa 1923. A Great Central Railway open wagon can be seen in the sidings beyond the Telpher installation.
