LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Lichfield

Gravelly Hill: lnwrgh1486

Looking towards Sutton Coldfield in the late 1950s. It would seem by the above photo that the trains calling at Gravelly Hill were in the main quite short in length as the platform appears overgrown for most of its length. Only where the passenger buildings are located at the far end the platform does the platform appear to be the normal width whilst elsewhere grass grows in front of the lampposts that once stood ate the rear of the platform surface. Note too that whilst the lampposts are gas they are different to the lamppost seen in image 'lnwrgh58c'.
