If my memory is not playing up the building you see is the most recent (late 1950s) of the several goods sheds and warehouses in Wellington Street Goods Yard. Cheers jim. I had thought that the station should be further away but wondered if the view foreshortened its position.

Parts of Wellington Street Goods Yard were badly affected by bombing in WWII. There was considerable damage to the area round the warehouses I mentioned above, and worse destruction in the area bounded by the river, the canal, and Wellington Road.
