View of the down bay and water crane located at the Stratford upon Avon end of Henley-in-Arden's down platform in April 1950. On the right is a carriage dock which was used to load for horse and other passenger related traffic. In the early years of railways it was not uncommon for the landed gentry to take with them on their train journey their own carriages and horses. The loading gauge was mandatory on all sidings accessing the running line.
