Looking towards the Central Goods Depot with the Matthew Boulton Technical College building towering above the rebuilt warehouse

Looking towards the Central Goods Depot with the Matthew Boulton Technical College building towering above the rebuilt warehouse on 26th April 1954. A former Midland Railway 0-6-0 3F can be seen marshalling wagons for unloading beneath the large canopy, the only surviving part of the warehouse which was damaged during air raids in 1940. The photographer is standing on the steps of the Signal Box controlling the access to the goods yard. Hill Street, on which the Midland portion of New Street station faced, was one street behind Suffolk Street and located in the direction of the church spire.
