HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM31671 Site of Midland Railway Line between Ashchurch and Evesham. Monument Monument Types and Dates RAILWAY (19TH CENTURY AD to 20TH CENTURY AD - 1860 AD to 1963 AD) Description Midland Railway Line from Ashchurch to Evesham One of the disadvantages of the Midland Railway main line between Birmingham and Gloucester was that it bypassed the important fruit and vegetable growing areas in the Vale of Evesham. On 1858/07/23 parliament agreed to plans for a singletrack branch line from the Birmingham and Gloucester line at Barnt Green to Redditch and the first trains reached Redditch on 1859/09/19. In June 1861 the Midland Railway was authorised to construct a branch line from Ashchurch to Evesham (the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton company had already opened a station at Evesham in 1852). The Midland line was completed on 1864/10/01 with the Midland Railway station built adjacent to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton station and it shared the same approach road. The remainder of the loop between Evesham and Redditch was authorised on 1863/07/13. The section from Evesham to Alcester was opened to passengers on 1866/09/17 but the final section between Alcester and Redditch was held up due to the difficulty of constructing a tunnel, just south of Redditch, with deep cuttings at each end. This section finally opened on 1868/05/04 when the original station at Redditch was closed and a new station opened nearer the town centre. Between Evesham and Redditch the line was single-track with passing loops, whereas from Evesham to Ashchurch the track was double throughout. The line between Redditch and Evesham was closed from October 1962 and the line between Evesham and Ashchurch closed on 1963/06/17 [Essery]. The mapping has been based on the third edition map interpreted by possible existing landscape features noted opn the modern Mastermap [1].
