Fenny Compton Station: smjfc19b
Close up of image 'smjfc19' showing the level crossing at
the Stratford on Avon end of the station and the joint signal box at the end of
a very narrow platform. The platform was always too narrow and at the platform
end where the photographer is standing was only two to three feet wide. This
was caused by the station being constructed too close to the GWR's cattle pens
and it would seem to reflect the hope of the E&WJ Railway that the GWR
would at some point cooperate by allowing their land to be used to make the
platform wider. Beyond the level crossing the girders forming the underpass can
be seen.
