Often referred to as Aynho for Deddington or sometimes Aynho Lower to avoid confusion with the nearby Aynho Park Platform (on the Chiltern route), the former station that was correctly named Aynho is seen from the B4031 road bridge that spans the GWR route from Banbury to Oxford. The building is an Elizabethan styled structure known by Brunel as a 'roadside' station that found great favour with the railway company with several versions of it found throughout their vast network. The station closed in March 1964 but in this 1980 view, the building is looking a little run-down and in use by a solid fuel company. Today, it is looking in a better state now a private residence with a well-kept garden surrounding it.
