View of the Stratford Upon Avon Old Town Exchange Ground
Frame on 17th April 1965. With the closure of the line to Broom which followed
the cessation of passenger services some years previously in 1952 the only
traffic of consequence to Stratford upon Avon was the Iron Ore traffic between
the Midlands and South Wales which did not require a signal box. Therefore what
little access was required to the GWR line and the station's sidings could be
provided by a Ground Frame which would be unlocked by a key kept at the GWR
signal box.
