View of the advanced work being undertaken in preparation of the redevelopment of Outwards and Tranship shed on 27th November 1939. This photograph was part of a series taken by the GWR recording the redevelopment of the yard which commenced in 1939 but not completed until a year or so after the Second World War commenced. This view was taken from the "Inward shed' which was located at the south or Snow Hill and of the goods yard. The track work to part of the "Outwards and Tranship" shed had been taken up in preparation of its demolition.
