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

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.
