This is the view towards Stourbridge from the Station Road bridge showing the ends of the platforms at Rowley Regis. The line was opened in 1867 by the independent Stourbridge Railway which was quickly taken over by the Great Western Railway; it continues to be an important part of the West Midlands rail network. Rowley Regis station is actually in Blackheath and was known as Rowley Regis and Blackheath until 1968; perhaps somebody decided that if the name was to be shortened, Rowley Regis sounded grander than Blackheath.
