View of an empty station concourse and the great magnificent station clock prior to the opening of Snow Hill's third station building in 1912. The overhead sign advises passengers of the platform numbers 'to Leamington before Reading, London' as well as 'South of England, Stratford on Avon, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol and West of England'. In the corner is an ornate poster board with the inscription 'GWR The Holiday Line' in gold lettering across the top. The cost of fares advertised are: Fist Class 7s 6d and Third Class 5s 6d (seven shillings and sixpence and five shillings and sixpence or 37.5 pence and 25.5 pence in decimal currency) which is one shilling cheaper for First Class passengers than advertised on the poster seen in image 'gwrbsh74'.
