LMS Route: The Shakespeare Route

Fenny Compton Station: smjfc179

View of the two stations with the E&WJR line to Stratford upon Avon on the left and the GWR line Leamington on the right. The site of the E&WJR Signal Box seen in image 'smjfc177' can be determined by the space in the platform on the left. This is where the rods and wires would have passed under the platform to enter the machinery room beneath the signal box to be controlled by the lever frame. The narrowness of the SMJ platform on the right is easily seen in this view. The adjacent area on the GWR side was part of the cattle dock facility. Its down platform was beyond the level crossing and can just be seen opposite the up refuge siding on the right.
