LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Berkswell and Balsall Common: lnwrberk1309

Looking across the level crossing towards the station master's house with the underbridge on the left and the footbridge on the right. The underpass allowed traffic to continue when the gates were closed which, if livestock, would have been an advantage. The gates appear to be either very dirty or painted in a dark colour, the latter a possibility bearing in mind the colour of the post. The signal box was to the left of the crossing on the down line, again the other side of the line from the photographer.
