View from the cattle dock siding to Kineton signal box which
was built when the two platforms were extended. A clerestory coach can be seen
in to the right of the signal box in the siding that lay behind the up
platform. The village of nearby Little Kineton was the headquarters of the
Warwickshire Hunt whose territory went as far as Broom. Consequently the SMJ
offered their services to transport the Hunt which led in 1909 to their
purchasing a hound van from the Great Eastern. This together with a number of
horse boxes were kept at Kineton and when used the inspector from Stratford
upon Avon would attend to supervise the process.
