Edgebold station stood on what became the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway.[3] The station was located on the south side of the bridge by which the line crossed the main road, between Lower Edgebold and Hanwood Bank.[4] The same station was initially open under the name Hanwood Road, during the line's first incarnation as the Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway.[5]
On the site of that station, in 1938, was built a plant that prepared and bottled milk for delivery until it closed in 1990.[6]
