Wolverhampton Low level Station
The low level station was built in 1848 to serve the Oxford , Worcester and Wolverhampton railway and also the Birmingham Wolverhampton and Dudley railway. It opened in 1854 and was then called the Wolverhampton Joint Station but was renamed Low Level in 1856 to avoid confusion with the other station in 
the town.
The station building is built of Blue Bricks with ornate stone decorations. A grand entrance hall with a high an elaborate ceiling led to the platforms as well as offices refreshment room and waiting rooms. The cellars are now empty apart from the skeleton of a long deceased dog, which thankfully I did not see!
The platforms themselves are very wide which suggests that in it’s time it was a very busy station. The platforms are also quite long this was to allow 2 trains to stop at each platform. 
As the Higher level station became more used for everyday train travel the 
services in the lower level one diminished and it was finally closed in March 1972.
From this time it was used as a parcel distribution point until this too was closed in 1981.
Now Grade II listed it has been saved from demolition and although many proposals have been put forward including one to turn it into a museum (the gates at the front of the property were put there during that time and they come from the old electric building) none have been fulfilled. 
During our visit there was a notice of licence from Whitbread regarding turning the Ticket Hall etc into a Brewers Fayre!
