GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne

Long Marston Station: gwrlm481b

Close up of image 'gwrlm481' shows the signal box which abutted the station building, the latter having a different frontage to that seen in later years. The station building is fairly devoid of normal railway paraphernalia - notice boards and posters - with the exception of the 'Pears' poster, a once well known soap brand, on the gable wall. Items of interest include the milk churns waiting to be collected and the metal railings which replaced timber 'picket' fencing seen in early photographs (see image 'gwrlm597'). When the timber fencing was replaced the station sign was raised approximately 2' higher than seen above.
