LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton LMS Route: Nuneaton to
Leamington
Coventry Station: lnwrcov4487
An updated version of the 1841 map of the L&BR showing
Coventry station on the right and the goods yard on the left. In the foreground
are the railway houses built by the L&BR to accommodate key workers at the
station and yard. It would appear that the goods agent is Thomas Wyatt as this
name is superimposed on top of the single goods shed. The above map was
provided by Russell Burridge who copied two huge 4ft x 2ft folders showing in
detail the route as surveyed in 1841 by Binns & Clifford of Birmingham, and
updated by F Wood of Rugby in 1863 and then by others up until circa 1875.
