Introduction

Bridgnorth Station is the northern terminus of the Severn Valley Railway, situated in an historic Shropshire market town surrounded by countryside and bisected by the River Severn.

 

The main station building is Grade II listed – the only one of its kind on the Railway – and the whole station site is in the conservation area. The station’s history is a modest intermediate stop on the Worcester – Shrewsbury line, and originally built on made-up land due to its geology and proximity to the river. The site is therefore somewhat restricted and linear, and not designed for easy vehicular access, or visitor parking.

 

The station is run predominantly by volunteers – from all walks of life – and some are not even train enthusiasts, but enjoy the friendly atmosphere. The licensed refreshment room, now known as The Railwayman's Arms, has stayed open for business throughout the station’s history, being first opened in 1861.

lots to do - newcomers welcome!

A busy today on 17th saw ten members continue with our programme of winter maintenance and improvements. Four members were dispatched to continue relaying the top of the back wall of Platform 2. Two were tasked with providing suitable ramp access into the temporary disabled toilet and dealing with problems associated with the door locking mechanism. One was involved in carpentry for the Booking Hall and the remainder set to with paint brushes to get the gatepost and Gentlemen’s modesty screen posts painted ready for the contractors to install in the concrete base of the new canteen / toilet facility.
