GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Henley in Arden - New Station: gwrha470

Looking North in 1908 from the Stratford on Avon end of the down platform towards Birmingham showing the grandness of the station when it first opened. The commodious station buildings were constructed in a standard architectural style adopted by the Great Western for the majority of its new stations around the turn of century. The platforms were brick faced with stone paving to the platform edges and to the area immediately in front of the station buildings. Compacted gravel was used elsewhere on the platform. Gas lighting was provided by lampposts along the platform and suspended lamps under the canopies.
