Description
Single concrete platform E of the line just S of level crossing at Shrawardine station. This and the other halts on the S&M line were built to cater for personnel working the nearby ammunition dumps, and largely replaced the derelict S&M stations. Each halt consisted of prefabricated concrete sections for the platforms, built on brick columns and given a nameboard and tubular steel fencing. <1>
Photograph taken 10 August 2017. The platform remains but nothing else. The site has obviously been derelict since the end of the Second World War. <2>
