GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Hall Green Station: gwrhg1114a

Close up of image 'gwrhg1114' showing the passenger facilities on the down platform and the footbridge which connected passengers from the access road to both platforms. On the extreme right the signal arm is in the off position (pointing downwards). Behind the signal is an area of the bridge abutment painted white to act as a sighting board to help make the signal more visible. On the platform are milk churns used to transport milk from outlying farms to the residential areas of towns and cities via the railway's stations. These would be placed in to the guards compartment of local passenger trains and dropped off at the appropriate station to be collected by a merchant and then returned the same or following evening.
