A 1922 25 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map showing Bidford Station and the Brick Works sidings. Since 1904, the station has benefited by the installation of the metal corrugated shed for storing parcels and other items of value as well as a grounded coach body to provide passengers with a waiting room, as seen in image 'smjboa2'. The Bidford on Avon Brick Works have massively expanded and require two sidings instead of one with a slightly different turnout arrangement on to the running line. The surrounding area has now been planted with trees. Arthur Jordan noted in his book that the sidings were used for distributing the harvested plums and throughout the year by local coal merchants.
