Curzon Street Station was the train station which was at the end of the first line connecting Birmingham to London in the 1800s.

The building itself, which was designed by Philip Hardwick and constructed in 1838, is very small. The architecture is Roman inspired with tall pillars running up the front of the building made out of huge blocks of stone. The architecture is very similar to the Birmingham Town Hall.

At present, the station is not being used any more and is surrounded by a Parcelforce depot. Construction in the area means it will get more attention in future and its role in British transport history should be rediscovered as it was built far away from the city centre. It will soon become the new home for the Royal Society of Organists whom have a unique collection of books which they are willing to pass on to the Central Library which is being moved to a development on the other side of Curzon Street.
