GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Henley in Arden - Original Station: gwrha1423
Looking towards Rowington Junction from the end of the
station platform with the truncated branch line in the distance. When first
built there were two sets of tracks passing to the right of the goods shed with
the nearest one to the camera continuing on to the station and the other not
only continuing on to the engine shed but acting as the run round loop to
release the locomotive for the return journey. On the right is a timber framed
shed with sliding doors set at a given distance apart - the distance between
the doors of box vans when coupled together. The raised floor and heavy timbers
underneath would seem to indicate that they were used to off-load goods heavy
directly from wagons into the compartmentalised structure. They were used to
store animal feed with planks laid between the box vans and the storage
shed.
