Wolverhampton (Low Level) railway station (site), West Midlands
Opened in 1855 by the Great Western Railway and its constituents, this was a major station with routes converging from London Paddington, Oxford, Birmingham Snow Hill, Shrewsbury and Birkenhead. The station closed to passengers in 1972 and completely in 1981.
View north west at the forecourt. The former station building is now part of a housing development. For more information, see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/wolverhampton_low_level/index.shtml.

Wolverhampton (Low Level) Station
The station opened in 1854, and the last passenger services ran in 1972. A long saga of preservation and redevelopment plans for the now Grade II listed station buildings has still yet to be finalised. The latest scheme (October 2011) is for the provision of a banqueting suite (two halls) and conference hall. I think I prefer that to the recently abandoned idea for a £6 million casino.

In the rear is the 2009 Victoria Hall, which includes a 24-storey tower costing £24 million.

Inside Wolverhampton Low Level station
This one - and a few others I'll be uploading - was taken from somewhere I shouldn't have been. Knowing that Low Level was about to be redeveloped, I managed to find a way in with my camera, just a few weeks before the developer's boards went up. I think this was in 2005, but I might be wrong about that. Anyway, this is a view from what I believe was the Shrewsbury platform, looking west towards the Wednesfield Road bridge.

Wolverhampton Low Level Station
Grand station approach and frontage, below and to right of main line railway. At this time, the station retained freight traffic 'just about' and was a parcels depot, having a single track line up to the freight line between Wolverhampton and Walsall.

Wolverhampton, Low Level Station
Old GWR station, disused since services finished in 1972, and deteriorating for many years subsequently; subject of many proposals, currently to become a casino. This might seem far-fetched in the current economic climate. English Heritage-listed, so it must remain, which is the main thing. http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/default.aspx?pid=2&id=378634
