GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Danzey for Tanworth Station: gwrdt663

View from the up platform of the basic passenger facilities located on the down platform of Danzey for Tanworth station circa 1964. The building constructed from asbestos (Eternit) sheeting only provided passengers with a single waiting room. On the left hand side wall are two fire buckets which would be filled with either sand or water, a necessary precaution in the days of steam locomotives which would eject from their chimneys hot glowing embers of coal. The building is beginning to show its age as demonstrated by the repaired corrugated sheeting by the door and the broken window to the left of the British Railways station sign totem sign fixed to the wall. Immediately above the BR totem can be seen a bracket used to suspend a Tilley Lamp to light up the station's name at night.
