Foleshill Station: lnwrf127a
Close up of image 'lnwrf127' showing the coal stacking areas
seen behind the wagons and located against the boundary wall of Campton &
Sons Ltd's factory. Whilst Coundon Road Wharf was the prime source of coal for
Coventry, Foleshill yard also provided coal merchants to the north of the city
centre with facilities. The wagon on the left is a seven-plank wagon built for
the LMS or Private Owner before 1948 whilst the wagon on the right was its
British Railways built steel equivalent. Many thousands were built in the 1950s
but unfortunately this coincided with the rapid decline in goods traffic
meaning that many steel wagons were cut up for scrap long before their due
date.
