Handsworth Wood Station: lnwrh_w3615

Looking towards Soho Road station with Handsworth Wood Park on the right beyond the footbridge circa 1895

Looking towards Soho Road station with Handsworth Wood Park on the right beyond the footbridge circa 1896. Other than the curve of the line, each platform was a mirror image of the other with four units on each sequenced in the same order with the nearest being: the Gentlemen's urinals; a general waiting room; ladies waiting room and finally the booking office. All but the Gentlemen's toilets are equipped with a cast iron stove the evidence being the cast-iron chimneys. The footbridge seen beyond the station was provided to a footpath from Hamstead Road to Hinstock Road by way of the park.
