LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Studley & Astwood Bank Station: mrstud1373

Looking in the direction of Alcester along Studley & Astwood's two sidings towards the goods shed circa 1962

Looking in the direction of Alcester along Studley & Astwood's two sidings towards the goods shed circa 1962. The landing dock can be seen on the right with its siding running to buffer stops in front of the goods office. Inside the goods shed was a fixed hand operated 30 cwt (hundred weight/112 pound) capacity crane able to turn 360 degrees. The office would have serviced traffic to both the goods shed as well as to the sidings. On the left in front of the signal box, according to the undated LMS 40 feet to 1 inch rating map, is an oil store.
