An Unforgettable Moment in Birmingham's History - The Plaque Unveiling at Curzon Street Station
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th of August 1988, a significant day for Birmingham and its railway heritage. The image captures the historic moment when a plaque was unveiled to mark the grand opening of Curzon Street Station. Standing proudly beside the magnificent station building are three distinguished gentlemen who played pivotal roles in this remarkable achievement. From left to right, we see Barry Shutteworth, Chief Executive of Task Undertakings; Robert Owen, Regional Manager British Rail; and Sir James Ackers, Chairman at Task Undertakings. Their presence symbolizes the collaborative efforts between government bodies and private enterprises that made this project possible. Curzon Street Station itself is an architectural marvel from the 19th century that has stood as a testament to Birmingham's rich industrial past. This iconic landmark served as one of Britain's earliest railway stations and remains an integral part of our city's transport history. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while honoring those visionaries who paved the way for progress. Let us cherish these memories captured by Staff from Memory Lane Prints and celebrate Birmingham's enduring connection with railways, travel, and architecture during this vibrant era of the 1980s.
