Kenilworth Station: lnwrk1466

View of the station approach to Kenilworth's new 1884 Gothic style station showing the impressive canopy providing protection to numerous horse-drawn cabs. Robin Leach notes, 'The buildings were faced with red pressed bricks and moulded and enriched brick cornices, panels, labels and quoining as well as Hollington stone gable copings, finials, corbels etc'. The two cabs on the left are waiting for passengers to arrive before being permitted to draw forward under the canopy to pick up their client. The vehicles on the right appear to be a cab waiting for hire and a private pony and trap approaching the canopy. On horse-drawn cabs the driver sits behind and above his passengers.
