LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Camp Hill Station: mrch856

Looking towards Birmingham from the Brighton Road end of Camp Hill station's down platform. Both platforms were originally much shorter and built with brickwork. At a later date as trains became much longer the two platforms were extended but using large timber for the framing and timber planking for the surface. The buildings erected on the timber portion of both platforms are also constructed using timber. This was not only a quicker and cheaper method of building such structures but when on an embankment, which Camp Hill was, much lighter requiring less substantial foundations.
