LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton
Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna46b
Close up of image 'mrna46' showing the single storey brick
built waiting room located on Abbey Street's up platform. The absence of a
chimney from a fire or stove would seem to confirm that the railway did not
expect many people to use this facility. In all probability passengers using
this platform would be returning from Birmingham rather than departing for
Leicester or Ashby. The ornate stone surrounding to the window is worthy of
note as it reflects a time when the cost of creating such ornate and decorous
features was considered to be of not much consequence.
