GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Small Heath and Sparkbrook Station: gwrsh1340

View of Small Heath and Sparkbrook station showing the relief lines either side of the platform on the right and on the left the main down platform. The two structures on the relief platform accommodate, from left to right,: Gentlemen's toilet, Ladies Waiting Room and in the other building, the Waiting Room. The differential reflected different times when ladies and small children were provided with separate facilities including toilets which were accessed via the ladies waiting room. Gentlemen however were accommodated with a room without a roof (the canopy providing shelter) and few in any glazed windows.
