GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch Junction

Aston Cantlow: gwrac2

View looking towards Bearley showing mainly privately owned coal wagons 'as far as the eye can see'

It was very common during both wars for lightly used branch lines to be used as sidings for storing wagons in need of repair etc, as seen in this view taken in March 1940. This view, taken from the over bridge at Aston Cantlow towards Bearley, shows mainly privately owned coal wagons "as far as the eye can see".
