LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Harborne

Rotton Park: lnwrrp87

One of a number of views taken by 'Cam' Camwell during the last week of passenger operation in November 1934. The station sign, in what appears to be in clean condition when compared to other photos, above was sited at the Birmingham end of the station. The gas light is of a different pattern to that seen in image 'lnwrrp84a' which may have occurred when one of the two was added during the construction of the passing loop and second platform face in 1901.

The LNWR lower quadrant signal is in the 'off' position meaning it it has been set to allow traffic to pass on to the Rotton Park Road - Icknield Port section of the line. The necessity of having a passing loop was removed when passenger services were withdrawn so the loop was removed when the station was demolished shortly afterwards.
