Stratford Old Town railway station

Stratford Old Town railway station was a railway station that served the town of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England.

On the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway, the station was built in 1873, adjacent to the Old Town district, south of the town centre.

Opened on 1 July 1873, along with the other stations on the line, the station lasted less than a century: the station closed to passengers on 7 April 1952,[2] although there was one train carrying the Queen Mother to Stratford in 1964.

[3] The A4390 bypass road was built over the route of the railway since closure.

However one platform of the old station was retained and is still visible by the roadside.
