Bartlow
Bartlow was the junction of the Stour Valley line and the line from Audley End via Saffron Walden. Trains on the latter mostly started and terminated at this timber platform and connecting passengers had to walk from and to the nearby Stour Valley station platforms. The service via Saffron Walden ended in 1964 and the Stour Valley station closed in 1967. The junction itself was controlled by the signal box seen in the distance of this 7th April 1980 view of the decaying infrastructure.
