LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Heath Station: mrkh731a

Close up of image 'mrkh731' showing the up platform building containing both the ladies and general waiting room plus toilets. The enamel signs are a mix of adverts for local merchants and for national brands. The former including Chamberlain, King & Jones Ltd for curtains, Newbury's for furnishings and drapery and Sames for pianos. The national brands include Pears Soap, Bovril, Bass beer, Emu shoe polished, all of which are still in business whilst Remingtom typewriters became a casualty of the development of the computer.
