Looking towards Bescot from the Birmingham end of the down platform as LNWR 0-6-0 No 710 passes through the station circa 1921

Looking towards Bescot from the Birmingham end of the down platform as LNWR 0-6-0 No 710 passes through the station circa 1921. The first vehicle is a GWR one-plank wagon whilst the next four are four appear to be four-plank open mineral wagons carrying coal for use by the LNWR's own locomotives as they have the legend 'LOCO' on their side. The next five wagons are also mineral wagons carrying coal but appear to be Private Owner wagons. Behind the coal wagons are a mix of vans and open wagons carrying a variety of different types of goods.
