ANOTHER Memory Lane reader, Eric Price of Pickersleigh Road, Malvern, is offering confirmation that Henwick was a railway station, not a halt.

Paul Thompson of Edgar Street, Worcester, was first to write suggesting that it was wrong of the Evening News to talk of the former Henwick Halt.

And Eric Price too, cannot understand why some people refer to Henwick Halt.

"It was always a small but fully-staffed railway station with its own booking office, waiting room, station master's office, porter service, signal box, extensive goods sidings and very well-kept gardens on the up platform."

Mr Price adds that for several years Henwick also had a siding which fed the Worcester Electricity Works at Tybridge Street with coal.

Kevin Poole of Howard Road, Worcester, was also in touch to say that on a 1946 map of Worcester belonging to his mother Shirley, the site is clearly marked "Station."
