LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Harborne

Icknield Port Road Station: lnwripr2182

View of the station's second single line platform and the inclined pathway up to Icknield Port Road

View of the station's second single line platform and the inclined pathway up to Icknield Port Road on 7th May 1929. As seen in image 'lnwripr2181' the platform was widened out to accommodate a series of small buildings with the bank of the cutting retained by a thick brick wall. Why the railway chose to erect several structures instead of just one is not known. The booking office appears to be at the Icknield Port Road end of the platform with the ladies waiting room and then the gentlemen's toilets next - both are signed - followed by two structures presumably for parcels and stores.
