Looking towards Moor St with the spur to the unfinished Duddeston Viaduct to connect to the LNWR's Curzon St station on the right. The large cattle dock facility that existed at Bordesley can be seen on the right built to make use of the otherwise wasted space provided by the viaduct which was used to provide a long head shunt. Next to the signal box on the right is a buffer stop against the wall for the catch points. It is doubtful that the buffers would stop anything other than a lightly loaded van at low speeds.
