Looking towards Kings Norton along one of the sidings in the goods yard one month after closure

Looking towards Kings Norton along one of the sidings in the goods yard one month after closure. Although British Railways had officially closed the goods facilities on 2nd May 1966, it is clear from the view above that the traffic was limited to just a few merchants compared to a decade earlier. The photographer is standing on the buffers of a wagon and it is clear that wagons are still evident at the station despite its closure. Coal thrown from one of the wagons and lying in a heap is evident in at least two places along the rake of wagons.
