GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj103b
Close up of image 'gwrhj103' showing the trackwork to the
south of the station together with the original Hatton South Signal Box. This
appears to be a Great Western type 4 design (notice the large porch and closet
at the top of the stairs). It was built in the 1880s and closed in 1936 after
being replaced by the new South Signal Box (see gwrhj106a), but the building
remained on site for a number of years, with the operating floor being used by
station staff as a greenhouse. In this view the prefabricated corrugated iron
goods lock up can be seen on the up platform but there is no grounded coach
body. A ventilated covered wagon (MINK) can be seen in the mileage siding.
