Close up of image 'lnwrcov622' showing the end of the parcel
dock adjacent to Coventry No 2 signal cabin with the parcel platform on the
right. It would appear that the buffer stops to the two sets of sidings are
formed by the stone edging to the platform/hardstanding with a heavy duty bulk
timber fixed to the face at buffer height. The siding nearest the signal cabin
is protected by catch points located just before the points (nearest to the
camera). This was a safety feature to catch wagons before they entered into the
path of traffic travelling on the main line. A small brick built hut can be
seen just above the Vent Van. This was located directly beneath the retaining
wall which supported Warwick Road.
