GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour

Stretton on Fosse Station: gwrsf556a

Close up of image 'gwrsf556' showing the platform cluttered with a range of items reflecting the needs of a single platform station. There are two types of porters barrows, on the right is a luggage trolley with a large frame to support large trunk and to its left a sack trolley which would be ideal for moving the milk churns. In front of the door to the waiting room and porter's office, is a tarpaulin which would have been used to cover an open wagon (see image 'gwrsf542a') in order top protect its content from both inclement weather and the shower of sparks and embers from the locomotive's exhaust.
