A photographic portfolio supported by an informative text showing Moor Street station in the heart of Birmingham city centre from its opening by the Great Western Railway through its heyday and decline and into its new era as a reopened refurbished station, retaining much of the character of its former days. Packed with information and with many photographs being published for the first time, this is a fitting tribute to a railway station that has defied all odds to become a working everyday station instead of just a memory from the past.
