Disused Stations: Stretton-on-Fosse

A cutting from the Coventry Evening Telegraph, October 1961. The slightly romantic text largely concerns the original horse tramway (the Stratford & Moreton Railway) and needs no further elaboration. Of relevance is the top photograph showing the track lifting contractor at Stretton-on-Fosse. Present is the crawler crane and just over the level crossing there appears to be a flat wagon present. Unfortunately the contractor's locomotive is not present, otherwise both it and the contractor could have been positively identified. Click here for a larger version
