GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Hall Green Station: gwrhg1357

View of Hall Green's station staff, including porters and signalmen, seated on the Birmingham platform whilst posing for the camera. The gentleman with the trilby hat and winged collar is thought to be a visiting senior manager. The number of staff employed at a relatively unimportant station is quite striking and as Bob Pixton states in his book Oxford - Birmingham Portrait of a Famous Route the "work may have been long and pay modest but it was steady and reliable employment in a difficult world".
