GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch

Bearley Station: gwrb770a

Close up of image 'gwr770' showing beyond the platforms is the girder bridge carrying the railway over the main Birmingham to Stratford road. The single track line to Claverdon is on the left, with a short parallel siding on the right, beyond the crossover. This crossover was later moved to the other side of the road bridge to extend the platform loop. Note the absence of Alcester from Station Name Board having been painted out as the track had been lifted from the Branch during World War One. At this time the Station Master was Joseph Tolley.
