Clifford Chambers Sidings

LMS Route: The Shakespeare Route

Clifford Chambers Sidings took its name from the nearby village of Clifford Chambers. This was a single track siding reached by facing points in the down direction and were operated by a ground frame. The siding was located next to the Stratford upon Avon to Shipston-on-Stour road bridge which passed over the railway in parallel to the Stratford & Moreton Tramway bridge. The siding was used primarily for the handling of road mending materials with some local farm traffic.
