What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: Birmingham Moor Street station. This terminal station was opened in 1909 by the Great Western Railway. In 1987 it was closed by British Rail and replaced by a new through station immediately to the north on the re-opened line to Birmingham Snow Hill Station. The original building of 1909 was restored and brought back into use as a key part of the improved new station by The Birmingham Alliance and Chiltern Railways with the support of the Railway Heritage Trust. Re-opened 11th October 2003 Recorded plaque organisation: Railway Heritage Trust.
Moor Street railway station, opened in 1909 by the Great Western Railway, served as a vital transportation hub for Birmingham until its closure in 1987; it was subsequently restored and re-integrated into a new through-station in 2003, preserving its historical significance.
