Aston Station: lnwra3626
A pre-First World War view looking towards Lichfield Road
overbridge and beyond to Aston shed. The station was built on an embankment
which required the weight of the station to be kept to a minimum. Therefore
whilst the platforms are brickfaced the surface, which would normally be paved
or cobbled with gravel infill, are finished with timber planking laid at
90° to the platform edge.
