Bordesley Green

GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Bordesley station opened in 1855 on the GWR Birmingham to Oxford line between Snow Hill and Acocks Green (Small Heath and Tyseley not opening until some time later), a couple of minutes journey from the former. Built entirely on a viaduct, the station and assorted facilities were a significant structure housing a cattle station and goods yard along with the passenger station itself.
