GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hatton Station: gwrhj106c

Close up of image "gwrhj106" showing the up platform building, which dates from the construction of the first station in 1852, a grounded coach body and several prefabricated corrugated iron buildings. The main wooden building with inadequate canopy contained the booking office, booking hall, ladies waiting room and lavatory.

It had a small brick extension at the far end, which contained the gentlemen’s toilet. Between this station building and the grounded coach can be seen a corrugated iron building which was originally a goods lock up. In later years both this lock up and the grounded coach were used as cycle sheds with racking for 18 and 24 cycles respectively.
