Close up of image 'lnwrstfd1343' showing the goods yard and
that the majority of open wagons are being used to carry coal for use by local
merchants. Some of the wagons have their doors open providing a view of the
practice of how rail to road transhipment for this type of traffic was handled.
It was common practice for the wagons to be used for both the carrying of coal
and temporary storage. The coal would be bagged and weighed direct from the
wagon on to the horse-drawn road vehicle and then distributed to local
households.
