An interior view of the new elevated Invoicing Office seen shortly after its completion on 2nd May 1939. The use of steel beams meant that only two internal columns were required making available copious amounts of office space. Access to the office was via an entrance off All Saints Street (see image 'gwrhd716') and via a staircase from within 'Top' shed (see image 'gwrhd713'). The closeness of the office must have had a beneficial impact upon the productivity of staff.
