Bidford on Avon: smjboa1

Looking towards Stratford upon Avon with the booking office built into the second arch of the road overbridge

Looking towards Stratford upon Avon with the booking office built into the second arch of the road overbridge. Beyond the bridge was a pair of sidings diverging to the right serving a coal yard and brickworks. This early view shows that the platform has just the corrugated shelter whereas in image 'smjboa2' a grounded coach body has been added. On the right behind the wire fencing is what appears to be a buffer stop and rails. Is Barry Taylor right in his belief that there was a siding at Bidford on Avon station in addition to the private sectors beyond the bridge.
