GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction

Claverdon Station: gwrc4004

The attached Great Western Railway Land Survey dated 1884 shows the land purchased by the Stratford Railway Company for their line at Claverdon. A single platform station was built on the eastern side of a new road bridge. The bridge was constructed slightly to the west of the original road alignment. The original road was partially retained to give access to station yards on both sides of the line. The two hundred and twenty five foot long platform (marked yellow on the plan) had a single storey building housing the passenger booking office and station facilities. Behind this a separate house was constructed for the station-master. On the other side of the line was a single siding adjacent to a raised loading wharf for Goods traffic.
