Opening in 1876, Great Alne station was on the GWR's Alcester Branch linking their Hatton to Stratford Branch. The line closed to passengers in 1917 but reopened between 1922/3, stopping again in 1939 for passenger use, apart from workers' trains to the nearby Castle Maudslay Motor Company's works from Birmingham. The line closed completely in 1951.

The painting shows the old Station which has since been converted to a residential property and the level crossing
