Blackwell railway station

[2] It was situated at the top and Northern end of the steepest part of the Lickey Incline and, slightly to the North, were the sidings where the banking engines would drop back from their trains and reverse, ready to return to Bromsgrove.

There were two platforms, that on the down (Southward)[3] line being exceedingly long - much longer than that on the upside.

There were short goods sidings for each line running into bay platforms, with an extra one on the upside.

The entrance and booking hall were on the up platform, with a small waiting room on the other side.

Construction was of typical Midland Railway brick-built design, with wooden awnings.
