LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Lichfield

Gravelly Hill Station: lnwrgh1488b

Close up of image 'lnwrgh1488' showing details of the roof of the timber structure standing on the Birmingham platform. The chimney stack has just the one salt glazed Crown Chimney pot indicating that it served just the one room below. To the right of the chimney stack are two types of cowling both used to benefit users of the gentlemen's toilet. The steel 'T' shaped cowling is a more recent addition. The tall tube most likely connects to a cast-iron stove used to prevent the toilet from freezing during the cold winter months.
