More about this scene

The railway station at the back of this picture is the reason for Dorridge's existence. Until the London to Birmingham railway was built in 1852, there was no Dorridge. In return for granting permission to the GWR to build the line across his land, local landowner George Frederick Muntz demanded the provision of a station: houses and shops inevitably followed.
