LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Studley & Astwood Bank Station: mrstud1373
Looking in the direction of Alcester along Studley &
Astwood's two sidings towards the goods shed circa 1962. The landing dock can
be seen on the right with its siding running to buffer stops in front of the
goods office. Inside the goods shed was a fixed hand operated 30 cwt (hundred
weight/112 pound) capacity crane able to turn 360 degrees. The office would
have serviced traffic to both the goods shed as well as to the sidings. On the
left in front of the signal box, according to the undated LMS 40 feet to 1 inch
rating map, is an oil store.
