An elevated view of Danzey for Tanworth station which illustrates the rural location of the station when first built. Road access to the station was from the left with passengers gaining access to the down line via the timber footbridge which was later replaced. At the bottom of the two platform ramps are standard GWR cast iron spearhead railings used to deter passengers from straying on to the line. A GWR Railmotor is standing at the down platform presumed to be on its way to Stratford upon Avon. Whilst the station was constructed to mainline standards this was more to do with it being a strategically important route to the West Country than a need to exploit the commercial potential of Warwickshire.
