Malvenr Link Sidings

This waste ground that is occupied by a few caravans was once part of the extensive sidings at Malvern Link. These closed in the late 1960s and they along with an impressive signalbox that once occupied the foreground area of this photograph were removed.

All three photographs were taken by Andrew Smith on 13th September 2002.
