A panoramic view of station looking towards Birmingham with the signal box located in the centre of the two sets of tracks circa 1952. The entrance to the station is on the right and was accessed via Station Road which ran between 'Old Warwick Road' and 'Rising Road'. Whilst the station was substantially rebuilt in the 1930s with additional platforms being provided to accommodate the quadrupling of the line to Birmingham, the original station building which was located on the old up line was retained.
