LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Evesham Station: mre577

Looking towards Ashchurch prior to alterations with an unknown MR 0-6-0 standing at the head of a up local passenger service. Bob Essery states that the location of the locomotives lamp holders (used to hold the lamps displaying the head code) are in their pre-1903 position. The barrow crossing would have been used by both staff and passengers as there is no footbridge evident. The down water crane's fire devil (brazier) which was evident in image 'mre563' is missing which might indicate that it was removed during the summer period. The advantages of the MR's angled station nameboard is seen in the view, the name being easily discernible despite looking down the track. Circa 1904
