Looking from Bromford Lane bridge towards the former site of Birmingham Race Course on 3rd August 1969. The station was only opened on race days. The racecourse (located where the pylons and high rise flats now stand) closed in 1965. The Midland Railway signal box was located on the down platform and closed a few weeks after this picture was taken with the opening of Saltley Power Box.
