View from College Street bridge of Chilvers Coton station looking towards Nuneaton with the arches in the distance on 4th October 1964. Unlike its near neighbour, Hawkesbury Lane, the station buildings on both platforms are standard LNWR pre-fabricated structures. The down platform on the left appears to have upright posts a practice normally associated in this period with timber platforms. This strategy was normally adopted when stations were built on elevated sections of lines to reduce the weight carried by the embankments.
