LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Station: lnwrk1469

Another view of the approach to Kenilworth station from the junction of Priory and Waverley Roads showing the weigh bridge and office on the left

Another view of the approach to Kenilworth station showing the weigh bridge and office just past the gate on the left and goods shed behind. From the number of passengers exiting the station it would seem that a train has just arrived. The passengers attire, which is smart casual or Sunday best, might indicate that this is a weekend or Bank Holiday during the summer period. They could therefore be some of the thousands of tourists who visited the town each year. The tree line in the background is more mature indicating that this is a later photograph than that seen in image 'lnwrk1469'. The entrance to the station was guarded by a pair of gates which would be closed at least once a year, normally Christmas Day, to preserve the LNWR's ownership of the forecourt and entrance and prevent the public ever being given the right of way.
