History
The station opened on 12 November 1849 as a temporary terminus for the S&B after they were given rights to run trains over the Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Stour Valley Railway (BW&SV).[1] It closed on 24 June 1852, after a permanent station opened nearby.[1] This later became Wolverhampton High Level railway station. The buildings were demolished in the 1970s.[1]
gollark: Ugh, *seriously*?
gollark: If you have some sort of multi-hundred-zettawatt coherent light beam, I think you should be able to change the look of the sun slightly.
gollark: They are caused by charged particles interacting with the magnetosphere and something something bremsstrahlung, so if you just beam high-energy charged particles at the atmosphere and somehow avoid having them just interact with arbitrary air atoms, you can trigger auroras.
gollark: It's technically legal to cause localized auroras and then use open broadcasts from weather satellites to detect these.
gollark: Well, you only need a particle accelerator and neutrino detector on each end.
