Looking north towards the Leicester Road bridge with the familiar crane of Nuneaton Timber in the distance

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.
