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.
