Looking across the interior of the haulage and parcels shed at British Road Services Depot, showing a fork lift truck driver moving crates in the foreground. The haulage and parcels shed was built by Laing in the very late 1950s for British Road Services (later National Freight Corporation). It had a large unobstructed floor area made possible by the use of massive lattice girders supporting the structure.
