Curzon Street Good Station: lnwrcs2135a
Close up of image 'lnwrcs2135' showing siding No 3 on the
right splitting into two roads which continue through the transit shed. The
shed provided cover to workmen off-loading the wagons on to horse-drawn road
vehicles. The rails are therefore set into cobblestones rather than being
exposed sitting on sleepers as can be seen in image 'lnwrcs2104'. Hung from the edge of the roof, both to
the front and the left-hand side, appears to be tarpaulins or sacking which is
thought to have been initiated either to protect the workmen from inclement
weather, or much more likely, part of a process of initiating blackout
facilities to protect the shed from air raids during the Second World War.
