Hazelwell railway station


Hazelwell railway station was a railway station on the Camp Hill Line in Birmingham, England.

History

It was built in 1902, between the existing Kings Heath and Lifford stations. The station cost £20,000 to build and opened on 1 January 1903. It was built to serve the Priory Estate which comprised.
Originally the station sat at a level crossing with a footbridge for pedestrians. In 1928, Herbert H. Humphries, Birmingham City Council City Engineer and Surveyor, invited tenders for the construction of the Cartland Road bridge over the railway at Hazelwell.
The station closed on 27 January 1941, when passenger services were withdrawn from the line due to "wartime economy measures", and was not reopened. The line remained open for freight and is also used for some longer distance passenger services.
