Kings Norton Station: mrkn785
View of Pershore Road South looking towards Cotteridge
Village with the entrance to the station on the right in April 1963. The bridge
was itself rebuilt in 1926 when the station was widened to incorporate the four
platforms. For road vehicle enthusiasts, on the left can be seen a side
elevation of a 1950s Ford, an MG tourer of 1930s vintage, a Rootes Hillman Minx
in the road is a rear engined Renault Dauphine with a Ford Anglia behind and
being passed by an MG Midget or Austin Healey Sprite. On the right of the road
is a Ford Anglia with a Ford Consular behind and on the pavement is a Morris
Minor with what appears to be an Austin Cambridge or its Morris Oxford
equivalent. The number of British cars was not unique at the time and the
number of British Motor Corporation cars was probably due to its Longbridge
factory being nearby and the discounts its workers could secure.
