Handsworth and Smethwick railway station

Sandwell, Italy

Handsworth & Smethwick was an intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line. It was opened in 1854. The station's architecture was reminiscent of that of other stations and was almost exactly the same as Wednesbury and West Bromwich

stations. The station closed in 1972, with the line and much of the site has been demolished.
