Much Wenlock railway station


The original Much Wenlock railway station was opened 1 February 1862 by the Much Wenlock and Severn Junction Railway, linking Buildwas with Much Wenlock. The line later formed part of the Wellington to Craven Arms Railway and was, for much of its working life, operated by the Great Western Railway. The original, but temporary, dead-ended station was replaced by the through station illustrated - about ¼ mile further east - at some date between March and September 1866 .
The passenger service to Craven Arms was withdrawn from 31 December 1951, but the service to Wellington continued until withdrawn from 23 July 1962.

Present day

Today the station building is a private dwelling. The section of former railway line to Buildwas is now a footpath.
