Old Ashchurch Station Photos

[MalvernRailway]

A new blog post this week with some old pictures of the Ashchurch Midland station. Enjoy!

There is an interesting aerial view of the station and adjacent railway lines in 1946 at http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/eaw000725 which clearly shows the railway level crossing. (This site is a wonderful source of pictures of long-closed lines - albeit the coverage can be rather patchy. To 'zoom in' to pictures you have to sign-up, but that costs nothing.)

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.

My pleasure! You might want to look at http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SO9233 where there are a number of photos of the station dating from 1945 onwards, for example:

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!
