GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch

Great Alne Station: gwrga2331

A 1949 view of Great Alne station seen from the position of the ground frame after operations ceased but before the line was officially closed

A 1949 view of Great Alne station seen from the position of the ground frame after operations ceased but before the line was officially closed. The single storey buildings nearest the camera contained the general waiting room, the ladies waiting room and, in a separate flat roof building, the gentlemen's toilets and urinals. Note the two lamp posts and lantern suspended from the canopy, oil gas lit, and which were still in evidence. Whilst the station had been closed to passengers since 3rd July 1944, the station had still operated a goods service until 1947. The line officially closed on 1st March after which the station became a post office (see image'gwrga2328') and ultimately a private residence.
