LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Norton Station: mrkn522b

Close up showing the main station building on the down platform built by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1849

This close up of image 'mrkn522' shows the main station building on the down platform built by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1849. The building would have incorporated the booking office, waiting rooms (First, ladies and general) toilets and in all probability a porters room for storing oil for the lamps - although those above are gas lit replacements. The gable roofing is of a similar pattern to the brick built structure on the up platform and also shares the intricate brickwork seen below the guttering. In the distance is the long wide access road from Pershore Road which remained after the station was quadrupled.
