Streetly station

This photograph of Streetly station was recently sold on E Bay (copyright unknown).

It shows LMS loco 42482 arriving with a Walsall-Birmingham local service in 1953. The platform on the left was formerly an island platform, with a down loop running alongside it.
The station was accessed from nearby Foley Rd East, but today no trace remains
(you would be hard pressed to visualise any station here at all !).
The station closed in 1965.
