LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1913

Looking along the former Ashby line to Abbey Junction and Abbey Street station in the 1980s. By the time this photo was taken the Ashby line (A&N Jt.) had been reduced to a siding serving Judkins Quarry on the right. Stone hopper wagons on the right are in the process of being filled. Abbey Junction Signal Box is in the centre looking freshly painted. The old Midland Railway goods shed on the left had been extended, but by the time this photo was taken the premises were due for demolition and would soon be swept away.
