LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Evesham Station: mre564

A view of the viaduct which carried the Aschurch to Evesham line over the River Avon with the GWR shed in background. Built on a skew, the double track was carried on two sets of steelwork 123ft 7in long and had its timber decking replaced in 1928-9 when the LMS strengthened the structure and installed a concrete floor. This photograph was taken on 8th April 1924 and shows GWR vans standing in the sidings in front of the GWR shed, both located in the vee where the MR and GWR tracks diverged.
