Having just looked at the very modern photographs posted by ellbrown, I thought this may be a good time to once again compare those photographs to the old Snow Hill Station.
This is a wonderful Birmingham Mail compressed photograph, showing Snow Hill Station, looking down Snow Hill, from the Snow Hill/Colmore Row crossroads.
Note the steep incline down Snow Hill, compared to the railway level.
In the 1950's I worked in a music store down Snow Hill, opposite the station, and every lunchtime, I would go up to our third floor, where I had set up a drum kit around the stock area, and practice, looking out of the window, at this view.....so happy memories.

P.S Unfortunately I have had to crop the photograph, in order to upload it, so it loses a little of the wonderful incredible photograph.
