Stations and other important locations in the County of Warwickshire

'There is a great deal more difficulty than would at first be imagined in laying out a railway station; and, perhaps, in every one now in existence, if it had to be entirely built over again, some change would be desirable: there are so many things to be amalgamated, and such various accommodation to be provided, that the business becomes exceedingly complicated.' The History of the Railway Connecting London and Birmingham, Peter Lecount (1839).

The Historic County of Warwickshire

Today the shape of the administrative area Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the historic county. Areas historically part of Warwickshire included Coventry, Solihull, and most of Birmingham, all three becoming part of the West Midlands metropolitan county on 1st April 1974 following local government re-organisation. The town of Tamworth was historically divided between Warwickshire and Staffordshire, but since 1888 has been fully in Staffordshire. In 1931, Warwickshire was ceded the town of Shipston-on-Stour from Worcestershire and several villages, including Long Marston and Welford-on-Avon, from Gloucestershire.

In addition to the stations which became part of Warwickshire when Birmingham absorbed parts of Worcestershire in the 1930s, we have included a small number of stations from counties which never were part of Warwickshire. This has been done where we believe their inclusion is appropriate in completing a route. One such example being the Midland Railway's Birmingham to Evesham line where the Worcestershire stations of Evesham, Harvington, Redditch and Alvechurch have been included on the route map.

We have also shown the stations on the Harborne Railway as being part of the London & North Western Railway. This is because whilst the Harborne Railway was independently owned until 1923, when it was absorbed into the LMS, it was from the outset operated by the L&NWR. In instances where a station changed its name, some times more than once, we have in the Alphabetical Listing shown below, endeavoured to provide all of their names, listing each separately but with all names linked to the appropriate station page. As we are continually finding new information the lists will be updated as and when we find the information.

The interactive map is the copyright of Joe Brown, Cartographer extraordinaire. For a complete cartographic record of Birmingham and the West Midlands’ railway history, please see his Birmingham & West Midlands Railway Atlas (Ian Allan).

Whilst extremely comprehensive, the interactive map of the County is NOT a definitive list of all items included on the website. There are 'lineside views, and items in 'Miscellaneous' which are not appropriate to be recorded on a map so for an exhaustive list its best to look at each route map and to use the side navigation in 'About' and 'Miscellaneous'. In addition to the interactive map we have provided below an alphabetical listing too.
