LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Heath Station: mrkh518

Looking towards Kings Norton on 13th June 1957 some sixteen years after closure to passenger traffic

Looking towards Kings Norton on 13th June 1957 some sixteen years after closure to passenger traffic. The yard is clearly being worked as is evident both by the presence of mineral wagons in the sidings on the left and the goods locomotive in the distance. The down platform shows the imprint of a hut having been erected sometime previously. Over the period from 1858 to 1973 some 34 coal merchants operated from Kings Heath station although most only had an office in the yard rather than being based based at Kings Heath. The 1973 date refers to the closure of the offices at the station as the goods yard was closed in May 1965.
