View of the station just after completion. Although planned prior to the Second World War it had a strategic purpose in transporting passengers to nearby factories. The use of concrete in its construction, in lieu of normal building materials, reflected the shortage of materials and skilled labour. Concrete was both an easy material to work with and its construction used less skilled labour than otherwise would be the case. C1941
