Outside Marston Green Station
Although actually within the borough of Solihull, Marston Green is an outer Birmingham suburb close to the airport. It has a busy station (behind the photographer in this view) that acts as a railhead for Chelmsley Wood.

Marston Green Station
Very few level crossings survived into the 70s on electrified railway lines. Here's one of them.
At the southern end of the platforms (closer to the current car parking) was once a level crossing and footbridge and original waiting rooms/ticket office.
Take a look at the old OS maps http://www.ponies.me.uk/maps/osmap.html to see the 1920s road that once crossed to Chapel House Farm and Canterbury Home, all now swallowed up by airport development.
