GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

GWR Route: Hatton to Stratford on Avon

Wilmcote Station: gwrwil514a

Close up of image 'gwrwil514' showing the up platform and main station building, the footpath to Station Road and the bottom of the steps of the passenger footbridge. The type of construction appears to be similar to the original building on the up platform seen at Stratford in image 'gwrsa505a'. In particular the chimneys are very similar although the canopy is different. The platform furniture shows two benches, one wooden the other a standard GWR cast iron framed timber planked model. Outside the booking office door is a set of heavy duty scales, the type where items are placed on top of the 'weighing plate' and the weights are added on an arm. The porters trolley is a standard GWR model with iron wheels and used the barrow crossing that lay at the Birmingham end of the station. Also seen are oil lamps hanging from the canopy as well two lamp posts providing lighting to the footbridge as well as the footpath from the station to Station Road which can just be seen next to the footbridge.
