LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Norton Station: mrkn531a

Close up of image 'mrkn531a' showing two of the three passenger structures which were located on the down platform. The last building was constructed in timber as evident by the horizontal boarding (seen much more clearly in image 'mrkn522a'). The chimney on the building is of a different type to those seen on the down platform being just simple glazed stoneware pots on top of the brick chimney. On the platform by the girl is a large porters barrow which had two small wheels and two curved legs. Behind the gas lamp, with the bicycle leaning against it, is another barrow but smaller barrow this one with straight legs. The use of advertising poster is extensive almost to the point of being unsightly. The more permanent advertising signs such as the 'Bovril' and 'Players' were made of enamel sheeting whilst adverts with a shorter shelf life were paper posters.
