LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Harvington Station: mrhv573

An early Edwardian view of the station which shows both the booking office and passenger facilities on the right and the substantial private dwelling. Rural stations were often provided with large residences as frequently other members of staff would be accommodated in addition to the station master's family. The station nameboard can just be seen above the white fence adjacent to the gateway. The ivy growing up the wall was a common feature on many railways in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but had often been removed by the time of the Second World War.
