GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch Junction

Aston Cantlow: gwrac793

A ground level view looking towards Great Alne showing Aston Cantlow Halt's open framed timber construction on 18th May 1930. The Halt at Aston Cantlow was authorised on 1st June 1922 and opened on Monday 18th December 1922 at the same time as the section of the branch was reopened to Great Alne. There were six trains each way on weekdays, but no permanent staff allocated to Aston Cantlow and each day a porter from Great Alne travelled to the halt to fill and trim the oil lamps on the platform.
