Steens Bridge railway station
Steens Bridge railway station was a stop on the Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway; it was sited to the east of Stoke Prior, in Herefordshire, England. HistoryOpeningOpened in 1884 as part of the final section of the Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway, the railway was bought out of bankruptcy by the Great Western Railway in 1888, which completed the line in 1897.[3] ClosureAfter the Second World War, and with the greater use of the motorbus and private cars, traffic on the line fell considerably. The line closed to regular passenger services on 15 September 1952.[4] On 26 April 1958, a special train organised by the Stephenson Locomotive Society ran from Worcester Shrub Hill to Leominster, calling at Bromyard, Rowden Mill, Fencote and Steens Bridge. The 50 society members and passengers rode on the last train that would run on the complete track before it was removed. The Worcester to Bromyard section was closed under the Beeching Axe in 1964.[5]
