Sutton Bridge Junction
Sutton Bridge Junction signal box, south of Shrewsbury, seen from The Railway Touring Company's return excursion from Hereford to Stevenage, on the afternoon of Saturday, 26th February 2022. This is where the Severn Valley Railway diverged until closed in 1963 although, of course, the section south from Bridgnorth has been revived as one of the UK's premier heritage lines. Sadly, the northern section through the popular Ironbridge Gorge remains closed and Ironbridge & Broseley station site is now a car and coach site, another savage act of legalised vandalism.
