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
