Great picture! Yes, I've been emailing with Ben Brooksbank, he's a wonderful chap with a wealth of pictures from Tewkesbury/Ashchurch. It was actually because of his lone picture of Malvern Hanley Road that I started my blog project, I wanted to find out more information about it!
Cheers, John. I've used BfA elsewhere on my site (there is a wonderful hi-res picture of Tewkesbury Junction that I bought for use on there). Thanks for the link, I enjoy incorporating those pictures into my work.

Hello all, just a quick video I made today showing how the abandoned GWR station at Malvern Wells is still in use as a turning point for trains terminating at Great Malvern. Enjoy!
