GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne
Long Marston Station: gwrlm484b
|
Close up of image 'gwrlm484' shows the remodelled passenger
waiting room and booking office now providing a separate ladies room. Another
change probably introduced at the time of the change of frontage to the booking
office was the provision of a very ornate rainwater gutter and down pipe. In
addition the facilities to the accommodation have been substantially improved
as is evident of a stench pipe and waste pipes from the first floor
accommodation exiting to the left of the new facade. It would appear that a
bathroom has been installed which accounts for the new window with a flat roof
superceding the original dormer window. A 'new' electric light above the left
and doorway is also evident as are ducting for electric cables passing under
the gutter and around the gable end of the building. The 'Gentlemen' sign is
thought to direct passengers to facilities at the rear of the building because
if it was located via the door on the left then the sign would have been
located above the door. The erection of the footbridge has also caused the
notice to passengers to be erected. The GWR style sign on the buildings gable
end informs them that 'Passengers are not allowed to cross the railway except
by means of the bridge'.
