GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Grimes Hill Halt: gwrgh87a
Close up of image 'gwrgh87' showing the down platform's
Pagoda passenger waiting room and the steps that led from the platform to the
gated entrance on Norton Lane. The Halt was lit by oil lamps and careful
examination shows that they have been removed from inside the glass. The lamps
would require filling and the wicks trimming and their absence probably means
that they have been removed for this purpose. The glass sides of the lamps are
at 45° to the platform meaning that lamp presents two glass faces to
passengers alighting from the train. Each of the two front glass sides are
coloured at the top with the legend 'Grimes Hill Halt' reversed out thereby
providing an illuminated name of the Halt.
