Tenbury & Bewdley Railway
The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway was a railway that ran from Bewdley in Worcestershire to Tenbury station which was in Shropshire, England. From Tenbury the railway continued to Woofferton via the Tenbury Railway; the route formed by the two railways sometimes being referred to as the Wyre Forest line or simply the Tenbury Line.
The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1860 to form a connection between the Tenbury Railway and the Severn Valley Railway, both railways then being under construction. Construction of the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway began in 1861 and was completed in August 1864. The railway was operated from opening by the GWR, who also took over the operation of the Tenbury Railway from that time.
The Tenbury & Bewdley Railway ceased to exist as a separate company when ownership was fully transferred to the GWR in February 1870.
From Bewdley the Wyre Forest line ran north from the GWR station on a single line track alongside the Severn Valley Railway for a distance of about a mile before diverging to the west to cross the river Severn at Dowles Bridge (52°23′08″N 2°19′30″W / 52.3855°N 2.3249°W). The intermediate stations on the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway were Wyre Forest, Cleobury Mortimer (Shropshire), Neen Sollars and Newnham Bridge. The Tenbury Railway began at Tenbury Wells (Shropshire) (originally Tenbury) and continued via Easton Court (serving Little Hereford) to Woofferton. Between Woofferton and Newnham the railway was largely built along the line of the disused Leominster Canal.
