LMS Route: Trent Valley Line

LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Nuneaton Station: lnwrns1611a

Close up view of the island platform which formed platforms four and five and which was the original 1869 island platform

Close up view of image 'lnwrns1611' showing the island platform which formed platforms four and five and which was formed from the original 1869 island platform. Examination of the two cast iron columns behind the clock and the cast iron supports to the canopy shows they are the same as seen in image 'lnwrns318a'. Whilst the platform structure seen in image 'lnwrns318a' is timber clad the building above is clearly brick built. However 'lnwrns318b' which shows the Rugby end of the same platform shows that this section was brick built. It is therefore assumed that when the station was rebuilt for the third time in 1905 the timber clad section was rebuilt as a brick structure but retaining the cast iron supports and canopy.
