GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour

Moreton-in-Marsh Station: gwrmm986a

Close up of the main station building showing the entrance to the station master's office and luggage carts on the platform on 6th October 1951. Of particular interest is the distinctive feature of the then newly introduced Great Western Railway standard design, namely the treatment of doors and windows. Jenkins and Carpenter in their book 'The Shipston-on-Stour Branch' write 'the windows which were grouped in pairs beneath large arc-shaped concrete lintels, and in this context it is interesting to note that Radley station, built at the same time as Moreton, had conventional square window lintels in a design otherwise similar to Moreton.'
