LNWR goods shed, Wednesbury
Image: © John Winder Taken: 8 May 2008
The old London & North Western Railway goods shed near what used to be Wednesbury Town station (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2678913). I visited this site in 1993 and at that time the yard was heavily overgrown and contained, among a lot of other scrap, two tiny diesel shunters standing on the remains of a siding roughly where the red car bumper is in this shot. Later on, I drove a truck for a haulage company based in this yard ... I had a good look around but sadly all trace of the railway had disappeared. The building was still in good condition though, as was the rail overbridge I'm standing on to take this shot, even though it had been infilled on one side.
