LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Hampton in Arden Station: lnwrhia1559
A colour view of Hampton in Arden station looking towards
Birmingham taken sometime at the turn of the 19th century. Whilst duplicating
other images of the Hampton in Arden station it does provide a valuable insight
to the LNWR livery applied to the timber built platform structures and to the
passenger footbridge. Coloured postcards were often used to provide deluxe
versions of standard postcards and were often hand coloured by the photographer
himself. They are therefore a reasonably accurate portrayal of the colours
applied but would be somewhat limited by the printing technology of the
time.
