LMS Route: Birmingham West Suburban Railway

Bournville Shed: mrb677

View of the former shed site showing that the buildings had been demolished, taken on Thursday 8th March 1962. All that can be seen is the ramp that had led to the coaling stage, lamp posts that used to illuminate the yard at night and the home signal that had controlled the northern exit from the yard. The Cadburys' Chocolate Factory can be clearly seen in the background. The snow adds a final touch of bleakness to the scene.
