It appears
that shots of Bengeworth Station are quite rare as I have been unable
to find one anywhere else on the internet. For this reason, I
have also shown a close up view showing the station buildings, signal
box and sidings. It also shows an LMS sign for 'Luggage In
Advance', another sign saying that telephone calls can be made, an
attractive oil lamp and a luggage trolley. The main station view
(top) shows the LMS 'Hawkseye' station sign.
I'm interested to know why the station closed in 1953, well before the
days of Doctor Beeching. I guessed that the view was taken
looking towards Evesham but Will got in touch and suggested that what
he'd found on Old-Maps.co.uk
made it more likely that the view was south facing, away from Evesham,
and I tend to agree.
