Looking to Fenny Compton prior to the doubling of the track in 1942 in the direction of Stratford on Avon

Looking to Fenny Compton prior to the doubling of the track in 1942 in the direction of Stratford on Avon. The nearest bridge carries the Stratford & Moreton Tramway over the SMJ whilst the bridge behind carries the Stratford to Shipston-on-Stour road. Passenger traffic ceased on the S&MT in 1859 whilst goods traffic continued to 1904. The rails on the Stratford to Longdon Road section remained in place until removed for use during the First World War in 1917.
