LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa43a
Close up of image 'smjsa43' showing the West elevation of
SMJ built signal box with the door to the machine room underneath and water
butt for rainwater. The point rodding controlling the turnouts for both the
sidings and the route to Broom can be seen running alongside the track. The
name board on the side states 'Stratford on Avon' continuing the confusion to
be found in the town with the GWR station being known as 'Stratford upon Avon'.
This annomollay continues today with the Town Council being known as 'Stratford
upon Avon' and the District Council (formed on April Fools day in 1974) being
known as 'Stratford on Avon'.
