LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Harborne

Rotton Park: lnwrrp88b

Close up main station building

Close up of image 'lnwrrp88' showing the main station building. The gas light suspended from the canopy is similar to that seen in image 'lnwrrp84a' and therefore as the canopy was constructed when the line was doubled would indicate both were installed in 1901. The bench seating is to the same design as at Harborne in the 1911 photograph. The booking office is accessed via the first door, the second is a waiting room and the third and final door is the Gentlemen's toilet (as also indicated by the louvered ventilation on the roof seen in the main image).
