The sculpture is one of a series of life-sized, flat metal horses created by artist Kevin Atherton in 1987, commissioned by West Midlands Arts in collaboration with British Rail and the four local authorities of Birmingham, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton. The name is an allusion to the description of early 19th century locomotives as iron horses. Other iron horse sculptures were erected on the stations in Coseley, Tipton, Dudley Port, Sandwell & Dudley, Smethwick Rolfe Street and Birmingham New Street.
