Coventry Station: lnwrcov584
Coventry station's up platform with the remains of the 1850s
passenger footbridge on the left and its 1901-4 replacement on the right as
seen on 11th November 1954. The steel lattice work was retained the lower
quadrant signal from it. The evolution of the station on the up side meant that
the 1860 structure was modified rather than completely replaced. The 1850s
footbridge remained until 1901 when it was demolished to allow the expansion of
the parcel depot. The 1901 two-storey buildings seen from Eaton Road being
built on to the front of the 1880 extension. The chimneys seen behind the
latticework over the top of the up platform awning are evident in the
photograph of the 1880 station.
