LMS Route: Grand Junction Railway

Great Barr Station: lnwrgb61a

Close up of new down platform building

This close up of image 'lnwrgb61' shows the up platform that was rebuilt at the same location as the original 1862 structure. The platform building is too small to accommodate a booking office in addition to the other facilities required and therefore must only be housing the waiting rooms and toilet facilities.

On the platform can be seen two lampposts which would have been lit by gas. Behind the lamppost on the left can just be seen the steps leading up to the road. Note the wagons behind the GWR flat wagon carrying coal, the name on the centre panel appears to be 'Lock' and all four have curved top end panels.
