GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Earlswood Lakes Station: gwrel459
View looking towards Stratford upon Avon of Earlswood Lakes
station shortly before opening in 1908 with the up platform on the right.
Access to the station was via Station Drive which ran from Rumbush Lane to the
main station buildings situated on the down platform. On the left the goods
yard is still being built and can be seen behind the double gates which
separated the yard from Station Drive. The water tower is to a standard GWR
design and as can be seen was located behind the up platform buildings. The
hard standing of the platforms were paved along the platform edge and to the
full platform depth in front of and slightly to either side of each platform's
building. The remaining areas of platform was apparently turfed not finished
with a gravel dressing if the coloured postcard is
to be believed..
