LMS Route: Rugby to Leamington Spa (Avenue)

Marton Station: lnwrmart1328

Looking towards the Rugby with the warehouse on the right. The raised area to the left of the warehouse was the landing area. In 'LMS Stations' a 1880-95 diagram shows the landing area with a track on eitherside and one in the middle which butted up against the landing to disembark road vehicles, etc.

The structure to the left of the wagon was used for storing lime which could be very corrosive on brick structures hence the timber construction. On the line the wagon is standing, a few feet towards the warehouse, was a wagon turntable which according to the authors was a relic of the original 1851 layout. To the left of the camera, out of sight and opposite the station building, was a cattle pen.
