View of a Clerestory LNWR Parcels Van being loaded with a
range of bicycles for dispatching via an express service circa 1899. The
bicycles are a mix of men's and women's bicycles and are protected by paper
wrapped around the frame, seat and chain drive. This view of the inside of the
parcels shed appears to be posed and was published by the Railway Gazette. From
the condition of the interior it must be assumed that the building has just
been opened. The luggage bridge is still evident above the parcels van and this
dictates that the photograph was taken before the rebuilding of the station in
1901-4.
