Bournville Shed: mrb1512

A view of Bournville shed and yard, including the coaling stage, taken from the main line on Sunday 21st December 1958. It is hardly a hive of activity, with only two parked engines visible, a 3F 0-6-0 in the yard, and an unidentifiable one just visible inside the shed. Compare with 'mrb683' a similar view in colour, taken two and a half years earlier by the same photographer.
