The station was rebuilt on a new site to the west of Soho Street during the 1880s.
The station closed in 1949,[2] although the Rugby–Birmingham–Stafford line/Birmingham loop from the West Coast Main Line still runs through the site of the station today.
There is little evidence of the location of the station on the ground today, and Smethwick Rolfe Street is only a short distance to the west.
