GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Henley in Arden - Original Station: gwrha1405

Looking towards Henley-in-Arden goods shed whilst the original branch line to Rowington Junction can be seen disappearing in the distance. There were four sidings in the goods yard at Henley-in-Arden, two sidings on the left which were at the back of the yard and two sidings on the right which had their buffer stops next to the road entrance to the yard as seen in image 'gwrha1400b'. The wagons to the left are all five-plank wagons - the bodies were five planks - high - with the nearest being a Private Owner (P.O.) and the other two being owned by the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). With the vans on the right belonging to the other two of the 'Big Four' railway companies, the Southern Railway (SR) and the London & North Eastern Railway (NE) the only member of the Big Four not represented in this view is the Great Western Railway which operated the yard.
