[edit]DescriptionEastside City Park - walking diversion - New Canal Street - Curzon Street Station (6170109251).jpg |
Since Eastside City Park started blocking off Albert Street, I've wanted to try and see what the walking diversion is like. It is a bit longer. You start off on Park Street (with the Bullring behind you). Turn right onto Fazeley Street. Then turn left down past the railway viaduct. Then go down New Canal Street towards Curzon Street. Then turn right onto Curzon Street. To get to Jennens Road, head to the end of Curzon Street, left onto the Middleway, then left again up Belmont Row, and then right over the barriers onto Cardigan Street. Cross over onto Jennens Road. View os Millennium Point. They haven't dug up the former surface car park yet. Curzon Street Station. A former railway station building from the 19th century. It's the worlds oldest surviving monumental railway architecture. The station opened in 1838. When New St Station was finished in 1854, Curzon St stopped being a passenger station, put holiday trips continued until 1893. It remained in use until 1966 as a goods station. It was called Birmingham Station until 1852 when they added Curzon St. It is Grade I listed but isn't in use at the moment.
The line was engineered by Robert Stephenson <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_and_Birmingham_Railway" rel="nofollow">London and Birmingham Railway - Wikipedia</a> After ceasing being a station for passengers, it was later the called British Rail Goods Office. But it hasn't been that in a very long time. It was formerly listed as the Railway Goods Office. 1838, by Philip Hardwick. The original terminus to the London-Birmingham railway Ashlar. In the Ionic style. Three storeys, 3 bays and austerely cubic. Portico of 4 really giant Ionic columns to the dentilled entablature with attic. Behind, a carved achievement of arms and swags over the glazed tympanum above the great panelled doors and 2 ground floor single windows. The first floor with 2 windows with blind balconys and cornices on brackets. Second floor with 3 windows in flat surrounds. All windows sashes mostly with glazing bars. To the rear, 2 engaged Ionic columns between square piers. To the left, a length of wall with intermittent balustrading. <a href="http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=217433&resourceID=5" rel="nofollow">Curzon Street Station - Heritage Gateway</a> Now onto New Canal Street. |
