View looking towards Birmingham and the West end of Washwood 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. The gas lighting located around the pointwork as seen in image 'mrwhg348d' has now been replaced by electric lighting elevated to a greater height on top of wooden poles.
