Boarded up station building

Henley-in-Arden, a small town in Warwickshire, has had two railway stations. The first station, opened in 1894, was at the end of the 3.25 mile long Birmingham and Henley in Arden Railway Company branch line from the GWR's main Oxford to Birmingham Railway line at Rowington Junction.

The other station, the one familiar to us today, was opened in July 1908 as part of the North Warwickshire Line which, by joining the Stratford branch line from Honeybourne, became an important new main line from Birmingham to Bristol and the West of England.

On the opening of the new station, the old station was closed for passenger use, though it remained open for goods. The branch line, served from Lapworth railway station (called Kingswood until 1902), remained open for passenger and goods use until 1915. In April 2009 a new anti-vandal waiting shelter was unveiled.
