GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls860
Another view of the main station building with the First Class
waiting room's bay window on the right. John Copsey writes 'The station booking
office and hall was in that portion of the building behind the canopy'. To the
right and set further back behind the First Class waiting room, ' were the
lavatories, whilst the edge of the refreshment room can just be seen on the
extreme right'. The style of the building was said to be 'strongly built of
brick and plaster, in the Anglo-Italian style'. The parcels office is on the
extreme left which was adjacent to the bay platform used for trains to
Stratford upon Avon. The parcels office handled 74,542 items in 1903, a number
which increased to 99,615 in 1913 a number which was more or the less the same
in 1923. However by 1933 the number of items being handled had increased to
123,473.
