Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1787

Looking West from the end of Platform 8 towards the bridge carrying the junction of Hill Street, John Bright Street and Navigation Street

Looking West from the end of Platform 8 towards the bridge carrying the junction of Hill Street, John Bright Street and Navigation Street on 1st August 1964. The former entrance to Queens Drive can just be seen on the right above the crane whilst the retaining wall below shows that the buildings on Platform 7 have also been demolished. Above the platforms is a temporary footbridge installed during the demolition to provide the citizens of Birmingham with the right away across the station whilst the original footbridge structure was demolished.
