Coventry Station: lnwrcov645
This view of Coventry Station in 1880 shows the station in a
very clean condition indicating that it has only just been completed. The up
platform is still fairly short in length as can be seen with the locomotive, a
Southern Division 2-2-2 Large Bloomer built in the style of Crewe, still
standing short of Stoney Road bridge whilst at the head of its train. It was
only over the next 20 years before the platform was sufficiently lengthened to
accommodate a 12 coach train.
