LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Hampton in Arden Station: lnwrhia700b
Close up of image 'lnwrhia700' showing the down platform
building which contained the waiting room, ladies waiting room and toilet and
gentlemen's toilet. Powell Hendry et al state that the platform buildings were
a blend of standard LNWR design and special features to harmonise with the
booking office on the road. The window frames are unusually deep for their
width, but these proportions they say, coupled with the decorative arches,
repeat the lancet theme of the main building. The louvered feature on the roof
indicates the gentlemen's toilet was located at the Coventry end of the
building.
