GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Rowington Junction & Troughs: gwrrj264b
Close up of image 'gwrrj264' showing the long line of
crippled wagons which were stored on the branch after the cessation of services
on 22nd March 1915. The branch had some of the track lifted as part of World
War One economy measures, however this section of the line remained to provide
storage facilities for wagons which required repairing when priorities changed
from producing war materials. It was still being used as a storage facility up
to and during the Second World War. Images 'gwrha2798' and 'gwrha3221'
show the far end of the truncated branch line, adjacent to Finwood Road
overbridge.
