Looking towards the Birmingham end of platform one's
passenger concourse with the main entrance being on the right as seen on 10th
April 1953. The rooflights provided much needed light and ran the entire the
length of the concourse up to the passenger footbridge. The door behind the
porter leads to the left luggage room based within the parcels office and is
ramped to allow direct access for porters' barrows. The section of stone
cladding to the right of the station master's office door (third from the end)
appears to mark the end of the earlier structures. The brickwork and the
features adopted for the openings ob both this and the end structure are
different to those on the extreme right. See image 'lnwrcov602' for a comparative view taken the
following year.
