GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction
Claverdon Station: gwrc905
View prior to doubling of the line showing the single track
line towards Bearley from the road bridge. The point provides access to the
goods loop and was controlled by a ground frame, which was unlocked using the
single line tablet. This was the location of the second Claverdon station (see
'gwrc907', 'gwrc908' and
'gwrc924' which are future views from the same
bridge). The new station was built and the line doubled in 1939. Notice the
bridge abutments just beyond the point. This was all that remained after the
west occupation bridge was removed in 1922. The abutments disappeared
completely when the new station platforms were constructed.
