Station Name: SOUTHCOATES
Southcoates
station with its island platform.
Photo received from Nicholas Cox 1893 1:2,500 OS map shows the layout of the station. There is an island platform with a waiting room. Access is along a footpath along the west side of the line. The building to the west of the line close to the road is assumed to be the booking office.
Looking north west from the end of the platform towards the signal box at the crossing c1965. The footbridge seen here is smaller than the bridge shown on the map above. Access to the station is now along a footpath on the east side of the line. The building identified as a possible booking office on the map has been demolished and its site is occupied by a coal depot. By this date the station was unstaffed. The end of the platform has also been slightly shortened.
