GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch Junction

Aston Cantlow: gwrac792

A reverse view of Aston Cantlow's 200 ft long timber platform and its corrugated iron shelter with a arced roof circa 1930. Leading to the platform is a short raised footpath, which sloped down from the Aston Cantlow road. Four oil lamps were provided to illuminate the platform, while a fifth is believed to have illuminated the path entrance. The ladder, lamp oil and other spares were stored in the small standard GW corrugated iron lamp hut at the end of the platform adjacent to the over bridge.
