Hockley railway station (West Midlands)

Hockley was an intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line in England, serving the Hockley area of Birmingham.

[4] Little trace now remains of the original Hockley station, as the site was cleared in the 1990s when the line was reopened.

It served as the Great Western Railway's principal goods depot for the Birmingham area.

[5] The depot measured three-quarters of a mile in length and was two to three hundred yards wide.

At its western end, it featured a transshipment interchange with barges on the Soho Loop of the Birmingham Canal.
