LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Tamworth

Tamworth High Level Station: mrthl1834

Looking obliquely south towards Wilnecote with the a waiting room and lift tower, both constructed using timber, on the right in 1911

Looking obliquely south towards Wilnecote with the a waiting room and lift tower, both constructed using timber, on the right in 1911. The finial on the roof of the other lift tower can just be seen. In between the two lift towers was the bridge carrying the MR line to Birmingham over the LNWR's Trent Valley line. The nearest lift tower would be used to transfer postal bags between the Low Level up platform and the High Level down platform. The furthest lift tower was used to transfer postal bags between the Low Level down platform and the High Level down platform. A third lift tower was sited opposite the latter to transfer postal bags between the Low Level down platform and the High Level up platform.
