GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Widney Manor Station: gwrwm432

View of the original station looking towards Birmingham from the down platform with the goods shed in the distance. The spacing between the two tracks betrays the line's broad gauge heritage. The 1852 station had a different architectural style to Knowle and Dorridge in that the canopy was cantilevered from the station buildings whereas the latter had a roof the overhung the building to provide cover.
