Hockley was an intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line in England, serving the Hockley area of Birmingham. It was located approximately one mile from Snow Hill station.[2] Opened in 1854, the station remained operational throughout the original life of the line, eventually closing alongside the line in 1972.[3]
The station featured two bay platforms and one island platform. Passenger access to the island platform was only available via an underground passage.
