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.
