GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction

Wooten Wawen Platform: gwrww654

This postcard, received after the others in the Wooten Wawen collection, appears to show the station in similar form to the other 1930s views. However the larger unit on the left is in fact on the down line and not the up as seen in all other photograpghs. The state of the 'station', as described by the postcard although the sign does have 'Platform' in small letters under the name, appears to be in very good and very clean condition indicating the photograph was taken shortly after opening.

The structure on the down platform has three doors indicating that it might have had a small booking office. It can only be presumed that the traffic from the station didn't warrant the need for this facility and being constructed of sectional units was dismantled at a later date to replaced by the Pagoda structure.
