rand Junction Railway Curzon Street Station
View looking along Curzon Street towards Lawley Street with Franklin's ornate screen wall on the right. The Grand Junction Railway appointed Joseph Franklin of Liverpool to design its Birmingham station, and he followed the fashion of the time of building an impressive frontage or screen with simple train sheds hidden behind. As seen above, the screen was in three sections with the middle sction consisting of four large Roman arched doorways, set in a wall interspersed with pilasters and niches under a deep cornice and parapet. Its overall length was 700 feet with the central section being some 230 feet long and the two wings being 170 feet long. The remaining 130 feet of frontage consisted of a plain high boundar wall which ran between the left hand wing and the canal bridge.
