LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Tile Hill Station: lnwrth2099

Looking towards Coventry from the cattle dock and along the down line with the up platform on the left. The station master's house on the left was originally erected to accommodate the crossing keeper. Passengers requiring tickets or access to the up platform would enter via an entrance off Station Roadd (see 'lnwrth2395') into a small courtyard and then proceed along a corridor formed between the booking office and the gable end of the station master's house. Tickets would be purchased from the booking clerk through a very small window. The author remembers that there was a small notice in the window offering passengers the opportunity to purchase insurance - for one shilling if his memory serves him correctly.
