LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa322

Looking eastwards towards the station on the left and the shed on the right on 22nd March 1957. The passenger service has ceased to operate for five years, although the the station's goods yard will linger on for a further three more years. A solitary ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 locomotive is still in steam as it occupies an otherwise empty shed. In the yard two cattle wagons are stabled in the landing dock adjacent to the signal box. The photographer, Tom Williams, is standing on the single line track to Broom whilst the two sets of tracks to the right include the coaling road used to stable 'Loco' wagons as can be seen in image 'smjsa166b'.
