GWR Route: The North Warwickshire Line

GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Hatton

Stratford on Avon Station: gwrsa3037

An oblique view of the coaling stage erected at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1911 on the opening of the North Warwickshire line and the doubling of the line on the route to Honeybourne. The timber hut, built from life expired sleepers, is obviously a mess hut as evidenced by the salt glazed chimney above the roof line. The lamppost is clearly gas list, the burner being seen beneath the lantern glass.

From John Turner's '53A Models of Hull Collection', a photograph by the late James S Doubleday.
