Braintree Station. Footwarmer House Exterior. 1952 (BRA @ 17m 71ch) (Ref: 031478)
The early passenger carriages had no heating system so water-filled foot warmers were introduced towards the end of the century. These were stored and refilled in a small foot-warmer house at Braintree station. Footwarmers ceased to be provided when the trains were fitted with steam heating. Note the chimney and the vents high in the walls to let out excess heat.
