Moreton-in-Marsh Station: gwrmm976

Looking towards Oxford Street bridge with the signal box on the left and the Brunel designed goods shed on the right

Looking towards Oxford Street bridge with the signal box on the left and the Brunel designed goods shed on the right. The lean-to structure was the clerk's office from which he would record all shipments both entering and leaving the goods shed and yard. The exchange sidings and access to the Shipston-on-Stour branch was to the left of the signal box, their access to the mainline being obtained via a set of points seen just before the road bridge. Railwaymen accessed by the goods shed from the signal box via the barrow crossing which unusually has been widened presumably to accommodate accessing both the goods shed and the down platform, the latter being just out of sight to the right.
