Polesworth railway station, Warwickshire
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 25 Aug 2013
Opened in 1847 by the London & North Western Railway on the line from Rugby to Stafford, this station was reduced to just one northbound service per day when this image was taken. View south east towards Atherstone and Rugby. There was no access to the southbound platform (left) which was consequently overgrown! A platform shelter can be seen in the undergrowth - which was actually the only shelter on the whole station.
