Vauxhall & Duddeston
Vauxhall & Duddeston was originally opened as 'Vauxhall'
Station in 1837 and was the temporary terminus of the Grand Junction
Railway from Liverpool via Stafford: the first railway to reach Birmingham!
When the permanent terminus opened at Curzon Street in 1839, "Vauxhall" became
a goods-only station until it was rebuilt and opened in 1869 under the LNWR,
who had absorbed the GJR in 1846.
It was renamed Vauxhall and Duddeston Station in 1889 before
finally becoming just 'Duddeston' today. The LNWR station caught fire in the
mid-1950s and was subsequently rebuilt although the 'new' station looked barely
better than the one it replaced.
