Close up showing the Bearley Railway's shed and Water tower located at the Alcester end of the branch line. The internal dimensions of this brick built structure were 38ft long, by 16ft wide, the height to the top of the wall as 16ft. The roof was slate and height to the ridge as 22ft 6in. The track was slightly off set to provide a working area on one side and there was a 36ft long drained inspection pit inside. This engine shed came under the administrative control of Strafford upon Avon Shed and was large enough to stable the Branch engine (normally a 0-4-2T) each night but there was no covered facility to store the auto trailer. Each week the auto trailer was changed for cleaning and servicing. Alcester Junction and the MR tracks can be seen to the right beyond the water tower. In the foreground is the pointwork, which connects to the head shunt (see mra472).
