==Bridgnorth Timeline== <ref>Information from the Bridgnorth Station website</ref>
*1862: When the original Severn Valley Railway opened, Bridgnorth Station is the principal intermediate station between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. The station building is made of stone in a Jacobean architectural style.
*1963: Official notice is given of the withdrawal of passenger services north of Bewdley, to be effective from 9 September 1963. Freight and parcels will continue until the end of the year, after which time only coal traffic from the south to and from Alveley Colliery will use the line. The last BR passenger service to run into Bridgnorth from the south is on 8 September 1963, double headed by ex-GWR 0-6-0 Pannier Tanks Nos 9624 and 4665.
At the end of 1963 Bridgnorth and all the other Severn Valley line stations except Bewdley and Stourport are closed completely, and the track is taken up between Bridgnorth and Buildwas.<ref>Information from the Bridgnorth Station website</ref>
