LMS Route: Birmingham - Soho Road- Perry Barr - Birmingham

Handsworth Wood Station: lnwrh_w3615

Looking towards Soho Road station with Handsworth Wood Park on the right beyond the footbridge circa 1896. Other than the curve of the line, each platform was a mirror image of the other with four units on each sequenced in the same order with the nearest being: the Gentlemen's urinals; a general waiting room; ladies waiting room and finally the booking office. All but the Gentlemen's toilets are equipped with a cast iron stove the evidence being the cast-iron chimneys. The footbridge seen beyond the station was provided to a footpath from Hamstead Road to Hinstock Road by way of the park.
