Tamworth High Level Station: mrthl448

An Edwardian view of the front of Tamworth's main station building which provided connection to both the LNWR's and MR's platforms. The Trent Valley structure was opened by the LNWR on 15th September 1847 eight years after the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway opened their station on 12th August 1839. Both the MR and the LNWR utilised the station for their passengers and both displayed their company notice board outside. The MR's platforms were located to the immediate right and the arched windows seen on the first floor is in fact the connecting corridor to their platforms.
