Postcards

The items shown below are part of my personal collection of railway postcards. I will add more as the collection grows, and I can get around to scanning them all in! I will also include some cards showing stations not covered in this site but that will be included in future expansions of the area studied. Should anyone wish for high-resolution copies of any of the images, please let me know.

This postcard of Moseley station circa 1910 was sent to me by Ronald Burchard of Florida who picked it up in a collection there, didn't know where it was and found this site through Google. It is a very good study of the station taken from the Woodbridge Road.

A 1904 LNWR postcard showing a submersed Walsall in 1886. Flooding was a continual theme at Walsall until the new station was built.

Another LNWR postcard from 1905 showing what, in 1838, was the London & Birmingham Railway's Birmingham (Curzon St) Station.

An excellent 1906 postcard showing Midland Railway's Camp Hill station looking South.

A rare shot of the original site of the GWR's Claverdon station around the turn of the last Century looking towards Leamington Spa with the Stationmaster's House (as shown on the 'Claverdon' page) in the background.

An early shot of the second incarnation of the GWR's Henley-in-Arden station looking towards Stratford.

An 1895 shot of the GWR's Knowle & Dorridge station looking towards Birmingham.

A great pre-grouping shot of Northfield station looking North with a mix of private and Midland Railway wagons in the goods sidings on the site now occuppied by the booking office and car park.

The GWR station at Shirley has changed little, bar the loss of the goods shed, from this 1908 postcard celebrating the opening of the station and line.

Wilmcote station on the GWR's North Warwickshire line shortly after opening in 1908 looking towards Birmingham through the Station Road bridge.
