GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Olton Station: gwro4007

An official photograph of the four road braced framework girder bridge built to carry the GWR's new widened lines over the main Birmingham Road

Keith Staples writes, photograph entitled 'Olton - reconstruction near Station - 1933' from the Library of Birmingham ref. WK_S9_79 LOB - J.E.Hall. After inspecting a number of ariel photographs, it seems apparent the slope goes down to Lincoln Road (GWR Lincoln Rd Bridge), the 3 houses rising up are in Avenue Road that leads to Acocks Green Railway Station.
