LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Burton Dassett Platform: smjbd83

Other than there be a platform and and a fascia reminiscent of railway canopies it would be hard to identify this as a railway structure based on its architecture. The large pair of doors are unusual and not explained in either Arthur Jordan's or JM Dunn's books. The structure was solely used for the sidings and without passenger services calling at the station it is unlikely that there was any parcels traffic. The route as a whole was very lightly populated with Burton Dassett being no exception and with Fenny Compton being only two miles away its hard to understand why this configuration was adopted.
