The Locomotive Depot at Lawley Street

[Heartland]

Lawley Street was the terminus of the Birmingham & Derby Junction Railway and from that early start formed part of the growing Midland Railway network of railways that extended to Bristol, London, Leeds, and Carlisle. They had a locomotive roundhouse on the Lawley Street Goods Station site which was in use until they built the larger Saltley depot on the land between the railway and the Birmingham & Warwick Junction Canal.

That early depot was still shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1889
