These were the wagon hoists in the goods yard at moor st station. You can see photos of them at https://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/moorstreet-goods.htm
Extremely so, all that is missing from the painting are the Midland Red busesView attachment 117800

I'm a 1940 guy too. The Bull Ring was very special to most of us back then. Even the name was always a topic of curiosity by outsiders.Hello Alan, I was born in 1940 so you are 3 years older than me but I agree with you that it was always a great time when mom took us to the bull Ring and various markets, usually on a Saturday morning.
Rode me bloody bike up those cobbles also on way back to RAF baseGad! those cobbles could be very slippery as many pedestrians and drivers would attest.
