Handsworth & Smethwick was an intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line. It was opened in 1854.^[1]

The station's architecture was reminiscent of that of other stations and was almost exactly the same as Wednesbury and West Bromwich stations.

The station closed in 1972,^[1] with the line and much of the site has been demolished.

Site today

In 1999, Handsworth Booth Street tram stop was opened on the site of the station, as part of the Midland Metro line. The only signs of the original building are the station toilets, whose doorways are blocked up, on Booth Street.
