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
