GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Hall Green Station: gwrhg1357
View of Hall Green's station staff, including porters and
signalmen, seated on the Birmingham platform whilst posing for the camera. The
gentleman with the trilby hat and winged collar is thought to be a visiting
senior manager. The number of staff employed at a relatively unimportant
station is quite striking and as Bob Pixton states in his book Oxford -
Birmingham Portrait of a Famous Route the "work may have been long and pay
modest but it was steady and reliable employment in a difficult world".
