LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Tile Hill Station: lnwrth1301

An unidentified ex-LNWR 4P 4-6-0 Prince of Wales class locomotive passes the goods yard on a Euston to Birmingham express service. The waiting room on the up (left) platform only consists of a small timber framed and clad structure until the 1930s. The goods yard was simple in layout comprising a single line with access provided by a trailing point from both the up and down lines. Mineral wagons and the like were unloaded at the Coventry end of the yard whilst livestock were loaded via the cattle dock located adjacent to Cromwell Lane (on the right of this photograph).
