Heath's down sidings with the gasometers on the other side of the Birmingham to
Derby line. The photographer was effectively standing in between the sections
of the yard, an area known to railwaymen as Washwood Heath Centre. Washwood
Heath Sidings No 3 Signal Box was located behind and to the left of the
photographer whilst Washwood Heath Sidings No 4 was behind and to the right.

elevated to a greater height on top of wooden poles.
