Coventry Station: lnwrcov289
View looking towards Birmingham of Coventry's fourth station
as a LNWR 0-6-0 Cauliflower goods engine heads a passenger train in to the up
platform. The 1890s upgrade to the station provided significantly more
facilities to both the up and down platforms and its configuration was in the
main to last until the rebuilding in 1960. In addition to construction work on
the front in Eaton Road the luggage bridge just above the locomotive was
demolished as part of the building work carried out prior to the 1901-3
extension. The near bridge is a footbridge and has been constructed since the
photograph of 1880. This bridge remained in place until the rebuilding of the
modern station in the early 1960s.
