Eardington Halt formerly
Eardington
(1862 - 1963)
Eardington opened on June 1 1868, six
years after the opening of the Severn Valley line, mainly to
serve the nearby Upper Forge and Lower Forge iron works
April 1 1949 was reduced to un-staffed status, although never
deemed a halt
The station had a brick waiting room and a single platform
In the later years under British Railways control, Eardington
had much of its custom from fishermen at weekends and during the
summer months so Eardington's planned closure in September 1963
pre-dated the Beeching Report
