Kenilworth Station: lnwrk2064
A 1959 interior view of Kenilworth station's magnificent
booking showing the roof of the booking office and the ornamental roof
surmounted by a lantern. Whilst today the erection of the booking office as a
building within a building would be considered a waste of resources and money,
it was not that unusual as both New Street and Snow Hill stations had similar
features. It is however an usual feature to see in a station on a secondary
line. The splendour of the station is illustrated by a quote in Robin Leach's
book Rails to Kenilworth and Milverton where he quotes one rail worker
saying 'it was like walking into a church'.
