A short window of photographic opportunity arose on the 29th
May 1962 when this picture was taken as the electrification masts started to
sprout through Nuneaton and these would soon be hung with all the netting
required to power those new fangled electrics which we did not like impinging
on our beloved steamers. This is the south end looking north towards the
Leicester Road bridge with the familiar crane in Nuneaton Timber Companies yard
which had recently been made redundant as raw timber was no longer processed
there. On the left a siding used for Permanent Way or Signal & Telegraph
wagons and on the odd occasion spare coaches.
