GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj106c
Close up of image 'gwrhj106' showing the main station
building which accommodated the booking hall on up platform building, a
grounded coach body and corrugated iron buildings. Hatton station built to
coincide with the opening of Oxford to Birmingham Railway in 1852 and this
portion of the station dates from this era. 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 gentlemens 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.
