GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj106a
Close up of image 'gwrhj106' showing the main island
platform brick built building with plain gabled slate roof constructed circa
1860. The building contained a gentlemens toilet, ladies waiting room and
lavatory, refreshment room and kitchen. The canopy was added circa 1897 and
extended the full length of the building on both the down main line (right) and
branch bay line (left). In this view, beyond the platform building and
footbridge can be seen the new 84 lever South Signal Box constructed on the
island platform at the Birmingham end of the station in January 1937. This
replaced both the old South and Middle Signal Boxes and simplified the station
operation, making working on the single branch platform line safer.
