GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Southam Road and Harbury: Photo gwrsrh290

Looking towards Fenny Compton this view of the Southam and Harbury station shows the sweeping curve located just to the south. The passenger footbridge built in between the World Wars was constructed of steel framing with riveted steel panels. The station sign can just be seen in the long grass beyond the footbridge showing the degree of neglect since the photograph seen in image 'gwrsh280'.

Rod Liddiard writes "Shame to see it like this though it always was when I worked through.(Though mostly at night). I read once that the station was a regular winner of best kept station in the division. as in the Edwardian photo 'gwrsrh280a'".
