Buildwas
(1862 - 1963)


Buildwas railway station was an isolated junction railway station on the Wellington to Craven Arms Railway and Severn Valley Railway which opened on February 1 1862

The station had three platforms, with two platforms at a lower level serving the Severn Valley Railway and one at a higher level serving the Wellington to Craven Arms Railway. At its peak, the station had a total of eleven staff, including the station master

The planned closure of the northern end of the Severn Valley Line including Buildwas station pre-dated the Beeching report. Following closure in September 1963, the station was demolished to make way for Ironbridge B Power Station. Coal for the power station was offloaded close to the site of the original station until the power station stopped generating electricity in November 2015
