GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour
Stretton on Fosse Station: gwrsf542a
Close up of image 'gwrsf542' showing the covered wagon
standing in the siding with two platelayers huts standing behind the buffer
stops. Small sleeper-built platelayers' huts were provided at regular intervals
along the line including Stretton-on-Fosse where the original PW hut was
eventually joined by another larger unit as seen above. Messrs. Jenkins and
Carpenter state that all of the line's PW huts would have conformed to the same
basic design, but that in later years, when wind, rain, fires, and other
eventualities had taken their toll, some of the huts were rebuilt.
