Handsworth & Smethwick was an intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line. It was opened in 1854.[1]
The station's architecture was reminiscent of that of other stations and was almost exactly the same as Wednesbury and West Bromwich stations.
The station closed in 1972,[1] with the line and much of the site has been demolished.
