A close up view of the platform canopy on the Birmingham platform in the 1960s. Fresh looking Totems adorn the concrete lamp posts, which are of a totally different design than those used at all the other stations along the route.

Looking along the Birmingham platform prior to the LMR removing the 'Central' suffix from the station signage. The first signs of neglect are beginning to show with weed starting to sprout from the platform. Photo from the John Mann collection

The LMR spendthrift solution to removing the suffix from the station name in October 1970. It certainly didn't comply with the BR Corporate Image programme of the 1960s.
