Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1854

An elevated view of the canopy at the entrance to the new extension which provided protection to both passengers and parcel traffic arriving via Station Street. The brick building is the three storey structure seen on the newly completed extension's Platform 6 (see image 'lnwrbns_str1870') which housed passenger facilities on the ground floor, and offices on the other two floors. The passenger footbridge continued through the building and is seen covered by the raised glazed section continuing towards Station Street. Behind the building are the two curved roofs of the extension which are dominated at the rear by the original LNWR roof. In the foreground the glazed roof covered the fish, milk, horse and carriage sidings and yards.
