Broadway Station Gallery 3: May 1969 - April 2014

Looking north at Broadway goods yard from the rear cab of D1749. The goods yard has already ceased working, and sheds have been built on the goods dock (since removed again). The rails were lifted in 1979, after the line closed in 1976.

Looking north-east from the site of Broadway station c1970; the line is still in regular use at this time. The former stationmaster's house is seen on the right. It shows the layout of the site before the garden of the house was extended towards the platforms. A rudimentary fence runs along the former façade of the station building, whose foundations can just about be seen next to the trackbed. The walls of the horse dock are still visible, but the down platform has been reduced to a grass-covered mound.

The view north in October 1979 shortly after the up line was lifted. In the foreground is the bridge over the Evesham road (former A46) and between the pines in the background is the site of the passenger station, completely demolished. The signal box once stood immediately to the right of the
bridge by the wall.

The goods shed in October 1979. The corrugated iron shed standing on the goods dock was eventually demolished, and the missing goods shed doors refitted.

The site of Broadway station looking north-east in August 1988. Nothing whatsoever remains of the station. The main station building once stood just beyond the line of trees to the right.

The trackbed just south of the goods shed, looking north-east, in September 2008. The fence on the right defined the area rented to the Caravan Club, and finally sold in 2012.

The goods shed in July 2011, beautifully preserved by the Broadway Caravan Club, who have since purchased it outright.

A load of infill material arrives at the northern end of platform 2, under construction in January 2014. The little shed was built to keep the brick layers dry, after the very wet winter of 2013/14.

This view shows the almost completed platforms in April 2014, made up out of approximately 70.000 recycled bricks. Lamp posts and a running-in board have been fitted, while in the foreground is the newly cast base for a bracket signal about to be erected.

An artist impression of the new Broadway station building. This watercolour is by well known railway artist Fred Lea. The impression was formed by studying the new drawings of the station building and overlaying the design on photographs of the existing site. the footbridge is not the same as the one that will be use, as it has a stepped deck. The new Broadway bridge will be straight. It was sourced from Henley in Arden.
