LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Berkswell and Balsall Common: lnwrberk4111b

Close up of the L&NWR OS Map showing the layout of the goods yard and the original staggered layout of the station. The use of the term 'Coal Yard' clearly indicates the primary purpose of the station's goods facilities. Its interesting to note that in addition to the Weighing Machine & Office (W.M. & O.) a further office was provided, most likely to be rented out to the coal merchant(s) using the facilities. The passenger's facilities are described as the Waiting Shed which is a somewhat misleading terminology when compared to views of the waiting room seen in image 'lnwrberk2353'.
