LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Tile Hill Station: lnwrth1286

Tile Hill Level Crossing with the gates now closed with Duggins Lane in the distance marked by the line of trees. The Road Sign placed in the hedge reads 'Cromwell Lane'. The gates were painted white with the end verticals and the last half of the gates's cross supports being painted red giving the effect of a warning red diamond in the middle of the road. As a boy I used to place half-pennies on the line to see them flattened to the size of a penny although all markings were erased and they were very thin.
