Description:The main entrance to Wolverhampton High-Level Railway Station.
The Station is thought to have been built by local architect Edward Banks for the Shrewsbury & Birmingham Railway (S&B). It was opened in 1849, originally named Wolverhampton General Station and renamed in 1853 to Queen Street Station. At this time the nearby Great Western Railway (GWR) station was being built which became known as the Low-Level Station. The Queen Street Station was officially renamed as the High-Level Station in 1885. Its ownership and usage progressed over time with: Great Western Railway (GWR), London & North Western Railway (LNWR), Midland Railway (MR), London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) and British Railways (BR). The building was demolished 1965 and replaced by a new station on the same site.
Although not in this photograph, the nearby Grade II Listed 'Queen's Building', which was part of the original station complex, still stands (2025). On the right the nearest car is a Standard Vanguard Phase 1.
