Linley Halt formerly Linley
(1862 - 1963)


Linley, later Linley Halt, was a small railway station on the Severn Valley line in Shropshire, England. The station was built in 1862  at the behest of Thomas C. Whitmore of Apley Park estate, through which the railway ran. Apley Hall lies on the opposite bank of the River Severn to the station. Access from the estate to the station was originally by ferry and later via a chain suspension bridge

The station closed on September 9 1963 as part of the planned closure of the northern end of the Severn Valley Line which pre-dated the Beeching report

The little-altered station building survives as a private residence
