Looking towards Birmingham showing the two water cranes located on either side of the bridge over Montpellier Street during July 1906

Looking towards Birmingham showing the two water cranes located on either side of the bridge over Montpellier Street during July 1906. This view shows that the up platform had a very acute dip created in the platform as a method of assisting passengers and staff to cross to the down platform. The down platform started at this point so was constructed with standard configuration of having a ramp at either end. Note the earlier style of MR gas lamp suspended from the wall on the left and the later model fixed to a lamppost at the end of the up platform. On the platform on the left is a large milk churn which would be placed in to the guards van for transporting to its home station.
