One of the finest small stations in the world. The beautifully decorated columns are in fact rain water down pipes.

The "modern" stone Christchurch stands in Avenue Road, but the original was a second hand iron church which arrived by railway in pieces and was assembled on land at the bottom of this road in 1866. By 1873 the lady of the Manor, Lady Foley, donated land on what was to become Avenue Road for the new church to be built.

Christchurch Road runs north-south joining Avenue Road to Court Road (from where the photograph was taken). The top of the spire of Christchurch is just visible above the roofs of the houses at the far end of the road.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is one of the four pubs currently owned by the Wye Valley Brewery of Stoke Lacy near Bromyard in Herefordshire. The pub opened under the ownership of the brewery in 2009. The Wye Valley Brewery was founded in 1985 by ex-Guinness brewer Peter Amor. It has continued to grow ever since it began. [[2522574]]. [[2523002]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Named after the famous Morgan cars, which have been made in Malvern for many decades. There was previously a pub called the Morgan at Link Top in Malvern, but that closed permanently, so the Wye Valley Brewery decided to use the name for this pub, which used to be The Cavalry Arms.

Dist:0.2km<br/>In recent years this was rather a rundown pub, owned by Punch Taverns, and called The Cavalry Arms. It was then closed for a few months and put up for sale. It was purchased by the Wye Valley Brewery, and re-opened as The Morgan in 2009. It seems to be doing well under its new ownership. [[2523002]]. [[2523025]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>From the south end of the platform two First Great Western trains pass each other. On the left the departing train terminated at Great Malvern and will be turning around. On the right the arriving train is for Worcester, Oxford and Paddington.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking southwards from the end of the platform 2. The ginger cat had sat by the line until the down signal changed from green, then proceeded to cross in a leisurely way - no doubt to check out the other side of the track.
