Spetchley Station was located alongside the road from Worcester to Stratford-on Avon and was originally the nearest station to Worcester until it closed with the opening of the OW&WR line.
During BR days the area was a favourite spot for enthusiasts as two convenient bridges provided excellent viewing of the line from Birmingham to Birmingham.
