An updated version of the 1841 map of the L&BR showing Coventry station on the right and the goods yard on the left

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.
