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.
