Stratford on Avon Shed: gwrsa1499
View of Stratford on Avon's two-road shed, storage siding
and water column and the coaling station positioned on its approach roads on
22nd May 1961. The two-road shed was authorised in March 1906 as part of the
development of the new route to the West of England. It replaced the original
single road shed which was sited opposite Stratford on Avon West Signal Box.
Built at a cost of £3,147 by CK Hunt & Son the work commenced in
December 1909 and the shed was opened in 1911. The siding to the left of the
shed above was opened as a result of the former SMJ shed being closed in July
1957 in order to provide stabling for locomotives being used on the Broom to
Towcester line.
