Looking in the direction of Coventry with the 'Station
Steps' footbridge in the near distance which replaced the private level
crossing on 29th Jan 1958. The original level crossing was replaced by the
footbridge in 1885 just after the line was doubled. It is thought that this
photograph was taken by British Railways as part of a series recording the line
to aid design of electrifying the route which was originally mooted to occur
with the electrification of the West Coast main line. Whilst a number of
bridges were lifted to allow overhead cables clearance the plan was abandoned
due to financial constraints.
