GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch

Bearley Station: gwrb770b

Close up of image 'gwrb770' showing the Wilmecote end of Bearley Station building with the original Goods Shed on the left. The Stratford-upon-Avon Railway was originally laid as a mixed gauge railway when opened in 1860, so this was constructed to be wide enough for Broad Gauge wagons. The shed’s internal platform was probably modified when the station was reconstructed as a junction in 1876. The Station lighting was all by oil lamps until these were replaced by electric lights in the mid 1930s.
