GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Shirley Station: gwrsh489
Looking towards Birmingham with the up platform passenger
building on the left and Shirley's goods shed and yard on the down side in the
distance. The level of cleanliness and the absence of staining on the track
indicates the photograph was taken shortly after the station's construction.
The Victorian gallantry towards ladies resulted in the ladies being provided
with their own waiting rooms as is evident by the the middle GWR sign on the up
platform. The sign reads 'Ladies Waiting Room'. The ladies facilities were
located next to the main Waiting Room and probably included the ladies toilet
facilities too. The down (right) platform housed both the booking office as
well as the 'Parcels and Cloak Room'. C1908
