GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Henley in Arden - Original Station: gwrha658
A side view of Henley-in-Arden's original goods shed now
seen in a derelict state after the tracks in the yard were lifted in 1964. The
door on the left was used by road transport as the track inside the shed was on
the other side of the building. The road and rail entrances were enclosed with
heavy sliding doors mounted on overhead runners and required two men to move
them. The forecourt entrance door, unusually offset, enclosed a loading bay in
the internal platform which, by the 1950s, was devoted to the storage of animal
feedstuffs. This traffic was later handled by the storage shed seen in image
'gwrha1423'. The photographer has their back to the
embankment which carried the connecting line from the yard to the new station
on the North Warwickshire line.
