General View of the Yard.
Around 1950 period, the water column was removed to the preserved Kent & East Sussex Railway in the late 1960s. The derelict wagons on the right were used for storage by the WD.
The ramshackle station building from the Colonel Stephens Era, showing the ramp up to the platform.
The Abbey Yard was used in its later years as an Oil Dispatch yard, from 1960 after the WD closed it, BR(WR) put a spur onto the Severn Valley line at Burnt Mill so that oil tankers can be unloaded into road tankers on the site, this survived untill 1988 when the track was in too bad a state to continue.
