LMS Route: Water Orton to Walsall
Sutton Park Station: mrspk341

Looking towards Walsall and the goods yard from the Water
Orton end of Sutton Park station's island platform during the late 1940s. The
up platform (on the left) to Walsall was staggered in relation to the island
platform being sited a little further towards Water Orton. The entrance to the
station by road was via Upper Clifton Road although there was pedestrian access
direct from Anchorage Road too. The up platform faced on to the main through
line at the end of which was the signal box which also controlled access to the
goods yard and shed seen in the distance. The footbridge provided access to all
three platforms for passengers, plus from a thoroughfare described as Midland
Road - which appears to be unadopted and limited to just pedestrians - which
was situated behind the trees on the right of the photograph. A local paper
cutting (regrettably minus publication and date) states 'the footbridge led to
Mulroy Road and the Midland Lodge entrance to the park'.
