Kenilworth Station: lnwrk1469
Another view of the approach to Kenilworth station showing
the weigh bridge and office just past the gate on the left and goods shed
behind. From the number of passengers exiting the station it would seem that a
train has just arrived. The passengers attire, which is smart casual or
Sunday best, might indicate that this is a weekend or Bank Holiday
during the summer period. They could therefore be some of the thousands of
tourists who visited the town each year. The tree line in the background is
more mature indicating that this is a later photograph than that seen in image
'lnwrk1469'. The entrance to the station was
guarded by a pair of gates which would be closed at least once a year, normally
Christmas Day, to preserve the LNWR's ownership of the forecourt and entrance
and prevent the public ever being given the right of way.
