GWR Bridge abutments, Neen Sollars
The Tenbury to Bewdley line opened in 1864 and closed to passengers in 1962 and to goods finally in 1965. The line crossed the lane here on a high bridge. One full height abutment survives, as does much of the trackbed. The fledgling Severn Valley Railway Society did consider preserving this line in their early days, and a wonderful rural ride it would have been. The infamous Beeching gets the blame for closure here, but it happened before he was appointed.
