Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1877
View looking West up Queens Drive towards Hill Street with
the Midland portion on the left and the LNWR portion on the right. The canopy
above this section of Queens Drive was the only section to remain after the
damage suffered to the former LNWR portion of New Street station during the
Second World War. The cars and taxis in this view are all built by West
Midlands car manufacturers with the cars on the left being built by Morris
Motors and Standard Cars whilst the taxis were built by Carbodies of Coventry.
The columns that once formed part of the gated entrance at the junction with
Hill Street are still visible in this view thought to have been taken in circa
1960.
