GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Grimes Hill & Wythall Platform: gwrgh88a

Close up showing the new sign 'Grimes Hill & Withall' and the Booking Office located on Norton Lane at the top of the ramp to the up platform

Close up of image 'gwrgh88' showing the new sign 'Grimes Hill & Withall' and the Booking Office located on Norton Lane at the top of the ramp to the up platform. The booking office was constructed from timber and was built at 90° to Norton Lane with the roof forming part of a large canopy of the entrance. The pathway appears to have been paved with timber posts to one side and in all probability with wire running between them. The three fire buckets hanging from the end wall were filled with sand and were a necessary precaution with timber framed buildings, particularly when next to steam locomotives emitting hot embers.
