Summary

Description
English: Pontesbury railway station (site), Shropshire
Opened in 1861 by the London & North Western Railway on the short branch line from Hanwood to Minsterley, this station closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1967. View north east towards Plealey Road and Shrewsbury. The single railway line crossed left to right in front of the house, now a private residence, and across the road by a level crossing. The single platform was in front of the house, hidden from view. The former goods shed was still extant when this image was taken, and can just be seen behind the trees.
