Stechford Station: lnwrstfd1346
Looking towards Washwood Heath along Station Road with the
Stechford station's main building on the junction with Victoria Street. The
main station building was constructed of timber a common practice of the LNWR
as it was erected on top of the bridge spanning the railway lines. This meant
the building was substantially lighter but it had the disadvantage that it was
not 'air tight' and smoke from passing trains could often penetrate the
interior. In addition sparks and embers from passing locomotives occasionally
caused this type of building to catch fire.
