Looking towards Birmingham in the early 1960s showing the original 1908 waiting room still in existence on the up platform. Some low-density passenger traffic station Halts or Platforms were built entirely of timber as illustrated by Pebworth Halt or timber was employed where the station was on an embankment and there was a need to keep the weight of the structure low. It is presumed that as Wootton Wawen was primarily in a cutting and therefore prone to ground water the decision had to be made to construct the platform in brick.
