Soho and Winson Green railway station

Soho and Winson Green railway station

Soho & Winson Green was an intermediate station on the Birmingham Snow Hill-Wolverhampton Low Level Line. Opened in 1854, it was elaborately decorated and had numerous platforms. In 1972, the station closed, along with the entire line, as funding fell into decline and passenger numbers fell.

Soho Benson Road tram stop now sits upon the former station site, as part of the Midland Metro light-rail system.
