Opened in 1933 by the Great Western Railway on the line from Cheltenham to Stratford-upon-Avon, this station closed in 1966. View north towards Stratford-upon-Avon. The station had wooden platforms and was very basic as all users were expected to be going to the races. No trace survives. The track-bed is now a path and bridleway. A short way behind the camera position, two old railway carriages served as a café and bike-hire station, at the time this image was taken.
