LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Castle Bromwich Station: mrcb34

The exterior of Castle Bromwich station which fronted on to Chester Road is all decked out with bunting in 1955. The building was a substantial two-storey affair with the ground floor being offices and stores fronting on to Castle Bromwich's goods yard (see image 'mrcb1030'). The main office facilities were based in this building although facilities for passengers were available in the two platforms. There are two station name boards, the one in the centre above the fascia is a British Railway's enamel sign which was not erected much before 1953-4. The sign on the right-hand corner of the building adjacent to the wall is an LMS sign made of timber.
