Coventry Station: lnwrcov1282b

Close up showing the new waiting room and just how short the down platform was for much of the 19th century

This close up of image 'lnwrcov1282a' shows just how short the down platform was for much of the 19th century. The waiting room is new having been erected since the view seen in image 'lnwrcov620b' presumably at the same time as the up platform was remodeled. Items of interest are; the steps and form of the small wall immediately behind the retaining wall on the left. The shape of the new lamppost and suspended lamp from the canopy of the new waiting room, the station sign seen end-on to the porter, the metal railings and the tables and chairs. The porters trolleys and barrow provide evidence of the preferred use of the barrow crossing by station staff.
