LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Wixford Station: mrwix584
Looking towards Alcester to the north of Wixford station after
the River Arrow flooded its banks at the beginning of the 20th century. Whilst
the two bridges appears to be solid the embankment between clearly has been
damaged and has sunk several feet in some places. The damage along the route
was so extensive that the line was closed for a number of months in January
1901. This route wasn't the only line in the county to suffer from flooding,
photographs of similar instances exist of Claverdon and Fenny Compton too.
