Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1786

View of the passenger footbridge as it crosses over Queens Drive looking towards Platforms 7 to 11 in the Midland section of New Street station. The bridge was built as part of the 1885 extension and the canopy built between the two halves of the station. The glass canopy above the footbridge was damaged during the Second World War at the same time as the former LNWR portion of the station and it too was subject to post-war rebuilding. This involved the same design of steel beams providing a very utilitarian and ugly flat roof structure which can be seen in image 'lnwrbns_str1839' showing the outside of the bridge during demolition.
