Built : 1886   
Original Name : Beverley
Station Facts : The town of Beverley was settled in 1830 and was one of the original inland settlements in Western Australia, the town got it's name
from the town of Beverley in Yorkshire, England, as many of the explorers who explored in this area prior to settlement were from Yorkshire.

The Station however wasn't built until 1886, when the Eastern Railways was extened from York to Beverley, 3 years later Beverley was linked by
the privately owned GSR Line to Albany, Beverley became an important stop along the line from Perth to Albany, as it was were the Government and
Private Railways connected and privately owned loco's pulled the trains to Albany and Government owned loco's pulled trains to Perth, York, Northam
or Toodyay (both Toodyay and Northam, openned in 1888).

Beverley Station is part of a group of 4 stations, which are built from stone and constructed in the 1880's, these other stations share simularities, the other
stations are Claremont, York and Walkaway, the design of these stations are known as a Victoria Tudor style, it's a shame more of these stations
weren't built around WA.
