Spring Road (pjs,1159) - a photo on Flickriver

Spring Road (pjs,1159)

            This is Spring Road at a time when the Joseph Lucas factory was still in full production and Spring Road station was used by hundreds of Lucas workers. Today every trace of the asset-stripped factory has gone leaving just the car park over the railway as a memorial. After many years as a contaminated brown-field site the land is currently being developed with hundreds of new homes, perhaps Spring Road station will once again become busy.
The station has changed little other than it is now overwhelmed with trees, the bus shelters here have been replaced with similar but more robust versions and the distinctive running in boards have long gone although in the undergrowth one of the cast iron columns from the board in the foreground is still lying, unscathed by the cutters torch.
