LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Kings Heath Station: mrkh516
Looking towards Kings Norton along one of the sidings in the
goods yard one month after closure. Although British Railways had officially
closed the goods facilities on 2nd May 1966, it is clear from the view above
that the traffic was limited to just a few merchants compared to a decade
earlier. The photographer is standing on the buffers of a wagon and it is clear
that wagons are still evident at the station despite its closure. Coal thrown
from one of the wagons and lying in a heap is evident in at least two places
along the rake of wagons.
