One of seven aerial views of the Belmont Road station and goods yard in 1929. Belmont Road runs north-east along the left side of the picture with York Road running along the bottom. The start of the station approach road is seen bottom left with an arched sign above the road announcing 'Metropolitan Railway'. By the bend in the approach road steps from Belmont Road are seen. There are six parallel goods siding with No. 6 siding passing through a stone goods shed. The small building at the end of the shed is the goods office. No. 7 siding served the coal yard with a BP petrol depot at the far end. The large complex in the foreground is the warehouses and offices of Alfred Button & Co, wholesale grocers. In the middle of the complex there is a large covered yard which is open at one end.
