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

Moreton-in-Marsh Station: gwrmm987

Looking south from the Fosse Way road bridge with the Creamery on the left and the goods yard on the right

Looking south from the Fosse Way road bridge towards Oxford with the Creamery on the left and the goods yard on the right. The large square water tank standing on the up platform was unusually sited as structures of this nature were more often located in the goods yard or sidings. This water tank, made of cast iron, replaced the timber water tank (seen in image 'gwrmm3068') which had originally been erected in 1853. In the middle of the two tracks can be seen the unusual signal fitted with a short arm as seen in image 'gwrmm998' The landing dock seen to the right of the down platform was used to supplement the goods shed.
