Opened in 1854 by the Great Western Railway and its constituents, on the lines from Wolverhampton to Birmingham Snow Hill and Dudley, this station closed in 1972. View south east. This was a junction station with 2 platforms curving left towards Birmingham (which had become the Midland Metro when this image was taken) and two curving right towards Dudley (through a cutting that has now been infilled).
