Close up of image 'lnwrcs2173' showing the two stations in the Ackerman perspective of Birmingham in 1845 with Gun Barrel Proof House below. In between the L & B train sheds and the Engine House are the carriage sheds. Albeit out of scale, there are disc signals and policemen huts positioned in the Top Yard, adjacent to the L & B train shed and by the Engine House. To the right of the structure at the canal wharf a small crane is seen. Another crane is seen further down the canal next to the bridge carrying Duddeston Street over the canal. The roundhouse is situated on the right with the tracks forming the routes to London and the north west behind. In front of the roundhouse the straight road engine house extension can be seen whilst behind the roundhouse and tracks lies the Grand Junction Railway's station.
