Bromford Bridge railway station

Bromford Bridge railway station was a railway station in Birmingham opened by the Midland Railway in 1896.

It was built on the site of the previous "Bromford Forge" railway station which opened in the 1840s. [Pixton, B., (2005) "Birmingham-Derby: Portrait of a Famous Route," Runpast Publishing]

It was on the line into Birmingham New Street from Water Orton. It was only used to serve the nearby racecourse and the platforms were on the goods lines to which the "specials" could be brought, clear of the running lines.

It closed in 1965 when the racecourse closed.
