Old warehouses at Sheet Stores
These were built for the Midland Railway's factory for the production and warehousing of the tarpaulins used on open railway wagons. This use finished in the 1960s but some of the 19th century buildings survive as a small business park.

Wyvern Marina
As far as I was aware until reading an information board close to where this was taken from this was still called the Sheet Stores Basin, but apparently not.
The board also enlightened me as to where the curious name of "Sheet Stores" came from: The origin of this group of industrial buildings was as a coal wharf for the Midland Counties Railways in 1840, as the need for canal-transported coal declined this became the Midland Railways Sheet Stores, where tarpaulins were made and repaired. That use finished in 1963 and the area is now a general industrial estate. A boatyard serves the boats, the sound of an angle grinder filled the air at the time that this was taken.
