Part of the Ordnance Survey map showing Coventry Goods yard and the two LNWR sheds and the joint MR/LNWR shed. Both incoming and out going goods were collected or delivered to local customers via horse drawn vehicles. The horses were primarily stabled on the ground floor of the two multi-storey buildings running parallel with Warwick Road with one building fronting on to the roadway. Other stables could be found adjacent to Grosvenor Road beneath the Spencer Park footbridge. Cattle pens were provided adjacent to Warwick Road bridge next to the blacksmith's workshop. The offices to the goods yard were located next to the Weigh Bridge itself sited by the entrance to the goods yard.
