LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa117

View taken on 18th August 1962 of the abandoned station and demolished shed from the down spur to the former GWR line to Honeybourne. The passenger waiting room on the down platform has been demolished since the image in 'smjsa116' was taken in 1959, the boarded walkway at the end of the platforms has however been reinstated. The site of the shed is now overgrown and other than the water tower, retained for supplying the water column at the Fenny Compton end of the station, the only structures still evident are the still in use telephone poles complete with lamps, the skeleton cover of the coal stage and the pit of the turntable.
