A LNWR porter poses before the camera with step ladders as
he prepares the poster boards for new flyers and notices. The building was
considered by many as a plain and uninviting building. From 1887 services to
and from Harborne operated an early example of a regular interval based
service with trains leaving Harborne at fifteen minutes to the hour and
services from New Street fifteen minutes past the hour. Whilst the
station was built by the Harborne Railway Company the station sign is pure LNWR
in design. This photograph was taken circa 1930 just a few years prior to the
station's closure.
