GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley and Duddeston: gwrhd109b

Close up showing the Snow Hill end of the island platform with the lift tower and steps visible on the right

Close up of image 'gwrhd109' showing the Snow Hill end of the island platform with the lift tower and steps visible on the right. Access to the island platform was via a long underground passage which started at the ticket office seen image 'gwrhd1657'. Heavy loads or persons who could not climb steps used the lift whilst all others used the steps. The old Inwards shed, which stands behind the lift shaft, converted to warehousing when the new Top shed at the north end of the yard was built. The tall building in the background is the grain shed.
