Witton Station: lnwr_wit1528
Looking towards Perry Barr from the Aston end of Witton
station's up platform on 5th August 1930. The railway was carried over
Brookvale Road by an underbridge which was located at the Perry Barr end of the
station's platforms. However the official access to the station appears to have
been via Station Road which ran at right angles to the line (on the left in
this view) which in turn was off Witton Lane at a point almost opposite Aston
Villa's football ground . N.B. On 2011 maps the railway is shown crossing
Witton Road with Brookvale Road being and extension of the same road several
hundreds yards away from the station.
