LMS Route: Birmingham West Suburban Railway

Bournville Station: mrb1488

Another view of the new platform canopy in this view of the station, taken in the late fifties

Another view of the new platform canopy in this view of the station, taken in the late fifties. This photo was almost certainly taken on the same day as image 'mrb687', as work is in progress on the canopy, with the ladder in the same place. It may well have been brought in pieces to the station, by the engineer's train, which is stationary on the down line next to it. Cadbury's Waterside warehouse can be seen on the far side of the canal, and Bournville Lane is out of sight beneath the train, in a short tunnel below both canal and railway.
