Train now arriving

On our quick tour of Malvern I took Tess to see the train station of which I had fond memories..... It didnt disappoint ...
Great Malvern station was opened by the Worcester & Hereford Railway in 1860 and the present buildings by architect E. W. Elmslie were completed in 1862. It was later absorbed by the Great Western Railway. The buildings are in local Malvern Rag stone and follow a French Gothic theme. A particular feature of the station are the awning pillar capitals on both platforms. They are decorated with high relief mouldings depicting different arrangements of flowers and foliage.

The station celebrated its 150th birthday on 23 May 2010
