LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Berkswell and Balsall Common: lnwrberk4156b

Close up of the down platform station building which would have accommodated the booking office, general waiting room, ladies waiting room and first class waiting room

Close up of image 'lnwrberk4156' showing the down platform station building which would have accommodated the booking office, general waiting room, ladies waiting room and first class waiting room. When first built the ladies toilets were located off the ladies waiting room, the gentlemen's urinals were located at the very end of the down platform (see image 'lnwrberk525a'). At sometime in prior to 1951 this arrangement changed as no such structure exists in in image 'lnwrberk3014'. A similar arrangement was provided on the up platform, when first built and later when the up platform was moved opposite the down platform. All the lighting on the station was provided by oil lamps up to electrification.
