Hockley Station Grade II cast iron urinal

My family lived in Hockley and I am trying to find out about the railway station. From what I can gather the Hockley railway station was opened in 1854 and closed in 1972. The railway station was re-opened (not at the identical original location) in 1997 on Vyse St and re-named the Jewellery Quarter station.

When was the cast iron urinal erected? And are there any pics of the original Hockley railway station please. I have done a search but I cannot see anything, but then I do get a bit excited and cannot resist asking the forum!

I looked down Vyse St quickly in passing not too long ago and I could see the old urinal, so I thought the station was original, unfortunately I now know it is new-ish.
 
Great info on the iron urinal and the disused stations link. Thank you, just what I wanted to know. Even the date they were built and manufacturer on the plaque.:):)
 
Thanks mikejee, I did search but I didn't put the GWR in, but then I probably would have come across your post if I had looked through the 10 pages the search threw up!
