GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction

Wooten Wawen Platform: gwrww522

Looking towards Birmingham in the early 1930s with the 'station' being classified as a platform, the GWR's equivalent of a halt. The only facility on the platform were two small waiting rooms both clad in corrugated metal sheeting. The structure on the up platform appears to be a little larger than the structure on the down platform.

In addition they are to two types of design, the larger unit being a conventional sloping roof type whilst the other smaller unit appears to be a GWR 'Pagoda'. As can be seen the platforms are well lit with oil lamp posts, very important on unmanned stations.
