GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour

Shipston-on-Stour Station: gwrss545

A view of the station in 1947 with the trackwork heavily overgrown and with rubbish strewn across the site although the goods shed is still in good repair. The war had resulted in the station being run down as labour was in short supply and even basic maintenance had been reduced to an absolute minimum.

View of the station in disrepair and long after closure with the loading dock's fencing removed The goods yard appears overgrown with rubbish strewn across the tracks. The goods building is clad with corrugated iron with two windows in the side parallel to the line to illuminate the loading area inside. The door is closed in this view compared to the view in 'gwrss536a' whilst one of the wagons appears to be a 7 plank of NE origin.
