From the New Canal Street end of the warehouse looking towards the sidings on 25th September 1938. On the left, above the LMS van, a spiral staircase can be seen rising to the shipping office that had been created in an area within the inverted V-section of the original roof. To the left of the LMS van part of the offices located on the deck can be seen. The light iron roof was based upon the original L & B roof which remained in the centre of the enlarged warehouse and therefore according to Richard Foster 'was quite a contrast to the wooden roofs of the other warehouses which were inherited from the Grand Junction Railway'.
