GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Southam Road and Harbury: gwrsrh280

View of Southam and Harbury Station looking south towards Fenny Compton and London circa 1910

View of Southam and Harbury Station looking south towards Fenny Compton and London circa 1910. The extra wide 'six foot' (the space between the two sets of tracks) provides the evidence that once this route was constructed to Brunel's seven foot broad gauge. A noticeable absence from the photograph was the passenger footbridge which was later installed as a safety measure. In this photograph passengers crossed by the barrow crossing, the timber boards of which can just be seen at the end of the platform.
