Close up of image 'mrbg615' showing the brick built waiting room
on the down Redditch platform which had been built sometime after 1894 when the
Redditch branch was doubled for the first 350 yards and the down platform
erected. To the left is the passenger footbridge and next to it an unknown
timber framed structure. Its location, ornate frontage and the window on the
side would suggest that it might have been some kind of passenger facility. It
is thought that the timber structure was built at the same time as the new down
platform whilst the brick built structure was a later addition. The existence
of both structures is confirmed in another early twentieth century view in
image 'mrbg622'. The lampposts seen in the photograph
are gas lit.
