View of the gated entrance to Stratford on Avon station's down platform which was located immediately to the left of the Parcels Office. To the extreme right of the photograph a man is holding a Civil Engineering ranging pole used with a theodolite to survey sites by a process of triangulation. Note the number of trollies and porters barrows, one with several large parcels. Compared to other stations of a similar size, Stratford being a tourist destination, had a much larger percentage of passengers arriving with luggage than otherwise would be the case. C1954
