GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Grimes Hill & Wythall Platform: gwrgh88b
Close up of image 'gwrgh88' showing the additional passenger
buildings erected on Grimes Hill & Withall's up platform to handle the
increase in commuter traffic. It is thought that the two Pagoda waiting rooms
were both in existence at the time the Halt opened as their style is very
similar to the GWR's standard Pagoda design. The building nearest the camera
was built in 1928 and is a building constructed of sectional timber units and
similar in design to the Booking Office on the road. The sign on the wall by
the corner reads 'Gentlemen' whilst the door facing the platform has the sign
'Ladies Room' fixed to the door. According to Mike Hitches in his book
Warwickshire Railways the waiting rooms had a coal stove inside which
made the room cosy during the winter months.
