LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Tile Hill Station: lnwrth1302a

Close up of image 'mrlnwrth1302' showing the cattle dock and the grounded former LNWR carriage body sited on the timber staging. The staging is still evident in image 'lnwrth714a' seen some ten years later but the carriage body has since been removed. On the left is what appears to be a weighbridge office. This area was later to be remodelled to handle the swarf created by the former shadow factories built during the war, most notably Pressed Steel Fisher based on the corner of Torrington Avenue and Station Avenue and Massey Ferguson built for the Standard Motor Car Company.
