View of a rake of open wagons being loaded with crates of Triumph cycles inside Coventry No 2 goods shed

View of a rake of open wagons being loaded with crates of Triumph cycles inside Coventry No 2 goods shed circa 1899. Each of the bays has a name of a town or city - the nearest being Glasgow indicating that this shed was dedicated to the shipment of bicycles. The gentleman in the bowler hat also appears in image 'lnwrcov549' which implies that this series of photographs was commissioned to illustrate Coventry's bicycle industry being served by the LNWR.
