Birmingham Snow Hill, c1911
Between 1906 and 1912 the GWR took about re-designing and re-constructing the station. When it was completed it was a vision of Edwardian elegance. Building work can still be seen here to the right of the image

Birmingham Edwardian Platform Snow Hill Station
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Birmingham Snow Hill station, captured around 1911 during a period of extensive redesign and reconstruction by the Great Western Railway (GWR). The station's transformation was nothing short of remarkable, as it emerged from this process as a true embodiment of Edwardian elegance. In this image, we are transported back in time to witness the ongoing building work that took place on the right side of the platform. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and progress, as workers diligently carry out their tasks amidst a backdrop of scaffolding and construction materials. It is fascinating to observe how even in its incomplete state, Birmingham Snow Hill exudes grandeur and sophistication. The GWR's commitment to architectural excellence is evident in every detail visible within this photograph. From the ornate ironwork adorning the platform canopies to the meticulously designed brickwork facade, no expense was spared in creating a station that would leave visitors awestruck. Today, thanks to preservation efforts by institutions like STEAM Museum of GWR, we have access to these historical snapshots that allow us to appreciate both the engineering marvels and artistic beauty present in our past. This particular photo serves as a testament not only to Birmingham Snow Hill's significance as a transportation hub but also as an enduring symbol of Edwardian era opulence.
