GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction
Claverdon Station: gwrc12a
This close up of image 'gwr12' shows the original 1860
station building built as a single storey in red brick building with a slate
roof. It had little decoration, but four massive chimney stacks dominated the
roof line. Internally it consisted of a booking office, waiting room, separate
ladies waiting room and gentlemens toilet. There was no canopy and all
rooms were accessed from the platform side. The half timbered building at the
end was originally the signal box, but by this time it was a store room. The
two storey red brick building behind the station buildings was the Station
Masters House. Claverdon had a station master and two porters prior to 1933,
but in that year the staffing arrangements were rationalised and Claverdon
station and the two porters were placed under the supervision of the Hatton
station master.
