GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch
Bearley Station: gwrb441
Looking along the rebuilt station's up platform towards a
deserted goods yard and Bearley Junction in 1959. The station looks more
'tired' than in earlier views. The station sign now only declares 'Bearley' the
references to Great Alne and Alcester no longer required after their closure.
The lighting has been changed from oil to electricity and the platform edges
are painted white, a safety feature introduced during the second world war. The
goods facilities are evidently still in use as there is a van in the sidings
and several steel mineral wagons on the line to the goods shed that lay
adjacent to the right hand platform.
