The station opened on 6 December 1853 as part of the southern extension of the S&HR from Ludlow to Hereford. It became a junction station in August 1861 when the Tenbury Railway (operated by the S&HR) opened a 5-mile branch line. In August 1864 the GWR-operated Tenbury and Bewdley Railway opened, completing the 'Wyre Forest Line' to Bewdley. In 1889 a bay platform, known as the "Back Platform", was added to serve the Wyre Forest Line. This was accessed via two diamond crossings in the main lines and continued in use until being removed in 1957.[1] The station closed on 31 July 1961,[2] the same date as the closure of the former Tenbury Railway. The line through the station, the Welsh Marches Line, remains in use. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line |previous={{stnlnk|Berrington and Eye}}Line open, station closed |route=Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Welsh Marches Line |next={{stnlnk|Ashford Bowdler}} Line open, station closed |col={{GWLNW colour}} }}{{Disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line |next={{stnlnk|Easton Court}} Line and station closed |route=Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Tenbury Railway |col={{GWLNW colour}} }}{{rail end}} References1. ^{{cite book|title=Branch Lines around Cleobury Mortimer|first1=Vic|last1=Mitchell|first2=Keith|last2=Smith|at=figs. 2-3|publisher=Middleton Press|year=2007|isbn=9781906008185|oclc=176923876}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=255 |ref=harv }} Further reading
