Former railway station in Shropshire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neen Sollars railway station was a station on the Tenbury & Bewdley railway in Neen Sollars, Shropshire, England. The station opened on 13 August 1864.[1] A second staggered platform was opened in 1878, reached via a board crossing. This platform was taken out of use on 22 August 1954, the same date on which the station's signal box closed. The station became unstaffed in July 1961[2] and closed for passenger use on 1 August 1962,[1] although goods traffic continued until January 1964.[2]

The station building survives, in the intervening years between closure and the present day, much of its distinctive character had been lost as a result of many of its original 1864 William Clarke architectural features having been removed, however, it has been restored faithfully to its original state and now once again appears as a GWR railway station.
