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

Shipston-on-Stour Station: gwrss543

View of the GWR weigh house looking from the road with the goods shed in the distance and the locomotive shed further behind. Immediately adjacent to the weigh house is Messrs. Hutchings coal office which had its coal staithes to the left out of sight of this photograph. The location of the single siding used by Messrs. Hutchings is identified by the presence of the Van. The GWR weigh bridge was available to the non-railway public but at slightly higher premium. The weigh bridge office was where the 'checker' was based and it was his responsibility to also keep the wagon books.
