taken 9 years ago, near to Coalport, Telford And Wrekin, England

Branch to Coalport
Branch to Coalport
Now part of the Silkin Way, this cycle and foot path was once an LNWR branch line running from Wellington to Coalport. The railway was opened in 1861 at a time when this was a highly industrialised area, but passenger services ceased in 1952 and freight over this stretch in 1960. Coalport used to have two railway stations on different lines; both have long gone and the village does not even have a bus service now.
