Ironbridge and Broseley railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ironbridge and Broseley railway station was a railway station with two through platforms on the Severn Valley Line in Shropshire, England. The station was on a section of the Severn Valley Line north of Bridgnorth and was demolished in 1966 to provide car parking space within the Severn Gorge. Until its closure on 25th November 1956 the signal box controlled railway traffic around the station and the level crossing that lead to the Iron Bridge. Closure of the signal box resulted in the token instruments being relocated to the station master's office. Interestingly, photographs of the station running-in board show the station name as "IRON-BRIDGE & BROSELEY". The cast name plate on the signal box read "IRON BRIDGE & BROSELEY SIGNAL BOX". It closed in 1963 as part of the Beeching Axe.
