Snow Hill station (Birmingham Station until 1858) was the prestige station in Birmingham - the epitome of GWR opulence with its grand Great Western Hotel frontage, mosaic floors in the platform tea rooms and a vast subterranean booking hall and goods offices - immaculately covered with white salt-glazed tiles.

Originally built as a temporary wooden station, Snow Hill was rebuilt in 1871 as a permanent structure and again in 1906 as the grand station depicted in numerous books and fondly remembered (unsurprisingly when compared to even the pre-1960s New Street!).
