LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Brandon and Wolston: lnwrbw541

An unidentified LMS 4-6-0 rebuilt Patriot class locomotive is seen passing through the station at speed. This photograph helps to show the station's layout the main station building being on the right with a goods shed and sidings some 200 yards further down on the right. On the left, the down platform was connected by the steel footbridge and had a simple passenger waiting room together with the signal box.

This station was the second structure built to serve this small village and was being opened on 29th October 1879 adjacent to the original station. The station closed to passengers on 12th September 1960.
