LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Coundon Road Station: lnwrcr44

Looking towards Coventry from the down platform showing Coundon Road Coal Wharf on the left the other side of the level crossing

Looking towards Coventry from the down platform showing Coundon Road Coal Wharf on the left the other side of the level crossing circa 1964. Both the up and the down platform buildings were constructed to a standard LNWR design which utlised timber framing and timber cladding. Up to the late 1950s the station would have been used by workers commuting to some of the local factories primarily from the Nuneaton side of the city. Towards the end of passenger services on the line the main users were schoolboys from the adjacent Bablake Grammar School, the grounds of which were located immediately behind the platform on the left.
