View from the Empties Metal Shed of the rear of
Lawley Street Goods Warehouse and its new awning as seen on 25th September
1934. On the left of the building are two hoist towers which cantilevered
outwards from the first floor upwards. A fixed crane was positioned on the
second floor in order to raise or lower goods that were being stored on either
of the two upper floors. The timber cladding to the three sides of hoist towers
was to reduce the impact of the wind blowing into the building when goods were
being moved.
