Coventry Station: lnwrcov1282b
This close up of image 'lnwrcov1282a' shows just how short
the down platform was for much of the 19th century. The waiting room is new
having been erected since the view seen in image 'lnwrcov620b' presumably at the same time as the up
platform was remodeled. Items of interest are; the steps and form of the small
wall immediately behind the retaining wall on the left. The shape of the new
lamppost and suspended lamp from the canopy of the new waiting room, the
station sign seen end-on to the porter, the metal railings and the tables and
chairs. The porters trolleys and barrow provide evidence of the preferred use
of the barrow crossing by station staff.
