Internal view of Moor Street stations' upper Goods Shed handling vegetable traffic with an overhead gantry crane in operation. The crane is unusual being that it operate on a travelling gantry but still had a jib to reach outside the area covered by the gantry. Moor Street was ideally placed to bring farm produce from the Vale of Evesham and other arable areas in to the centre of Birmingham.
