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

Shipston-on-Stour Station: gwrss601

Looking towards Moreton-in-Marsh with the single road engine shed on the left and the plate layers mess hut seen in the distance on the right. The locomotive shed was closed on 20th November 1916 and had the track removed in 1917 a casualty of wartime economy measures. The GWR lorry which replaced the horse drawn road vehicle was housed inside the shed during the 1930s but this practice was abandoned after the Second World War when the lorry was parked under the station canopy.
