LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna44

An external view of the former Midland Railway station at Abbey Street Nuneaton in 1951. Access by road transport was via the station drive which connected with Midland Road at the junction with Stanley Road. Examination of the poster boards shows that the board above the bicycle is headed Cheap Fares whilst the others carry the legend British Railways. The van on the right appears to be a British Railways vehicle most likely being used for parcels, etc. To its left are two different types of porter's barrow and one trolley all of which would suggest that the parcels office was located on the right.
