Close up showing the passenger and platform staff facilities together with facilities for local merchants

Close up of image 'smjsa166' Close up showing the carriage sidings, exchange sidings, goods shed and other merchant facilities. The first two sidings adjacent to the line to Broom were used to clean the carriages and have low level platforms erected alongside to assist the cleaning staff to access the vehicles. A short siding alongside the seven carriage sidings has been equipped with a weighing machine and office enabling the weight of wagons to be checked when unladen or laden with goods. Next to this siding is an exchange siding used by the GWR and SMJ when transferring wagons between the two companies. Hutchings together with the Alcester Cooperative Society have both offices and coal stacking ground allocated for their use. Whilst in the centre SMJ railway staff have been provided with a Goods Department Office, a Permanent Way Inspector's Office, and various stores. For securing valuable items a Strong Room has been provided.
