LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Redditch Station: mrred1381a
Close up of image 'mrred1381' showing the steps of the passenger
footbridge sited at the northern end of Redditch station. Whereas the station
staff would use the barrow crossing across the tracks, in particular to move
luggage via carts or porter's barrows, passengers had to use the footbridge. In
the distance through the road bridge, the footbridge used to cross the railway
from Bridge Street to Windsor Street can be seen. The water column had been
strategically located so that the crew could top up with water whilst waiting
at the platform. The water for this and other water columns in the area was
drawn from a reservoir located in the goods yard.
