GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls239a
Close up of image 'gwrls239' showing motor taxis waiting on the
upper level forecourt and canopy outside the main station buildings. The
entrance to the station was at platform level allowing ease of access to the
station. The 1853 Leamington Year Book quotes the construction of the building
as being "strobgly built of brick and plaster, in the Anglo-Italian style. The
arrangement is very good and affords every convenience and luxury. The Booking
Office is in the centre, lighted by a cupola, is 45 feet by 30 feet, the
First-class Waiting Room is 30 feet by 15 feet, with a large bay window, the
whole being in excellence proportion'. Source Great Western Railway Journal No
