LMS Route: Birmingham West Suburban Railway

Central Goods Yard: mrcgy916

View of Birmingham Central Goods Station's two-storey warehouse erected by Edward Wood in 1890. The tender submitted by Edward Wood was for £42,119 15s 5½d and Bob Essery suggests that the design was by Charles Trubshaw and of a similar style to those erected by the Midland Railway at Camp Hill and Lawley Street. On the left of the warehouse at first floor level two sack or crane hoists can be seen each enclosed only at first floor level. They would lift goods from wagons stabled on the siding running alongside the outer wall to be stored on the first floor.
