View of Bordesley Goods Yard looking south towards Small Heath station and showing Small Heath Road bridge crossing the GWR line in the distance circa 1954. To the right of the six through running lines is the throat of the Caledonia Yard, part of which was previously occupied by the engine shed that serviced the area prior to the opening of Tyseley shed in 1908. To the left is the Old Yard, Baltic and Baulks yards. The proximity of the Midland Railway's line resulted in a single line connection being installed in November 1861. The line was eventually doubled to handle the heavy traffic that resulted as a consequence of the war effort during the Second World War.
