LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Arley & Fillongley Station: mraf1065a

Close up of image 'mraf1065' showing the station's former goods yard on 10th July 1966, some 18 months after the yard had been closed. All sidings have been lifted and the yard is now being used to store a variety of building material including a cable drum and on the extreme right, what appears to be a stack of terra-cotta cabling ducting. In all probability this might have been used as part of the signalling upgrade to the route which occurred when Saltley Power Box was commissioned in September 1969. Note too the caravan parked in the corner adjacent to the station.
