Following closure of the line north of Bridgnorth in 1963, ballast from the tunnel was recovered by SVR volunteers in July 1965, with the permission of BR<ref>BBC article</ref>.
In [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2003 | summer 2003]], SVR News noted that the BR Residual Property Board BRB (Residuary) Ltd (BRBR) had put Bridgnorth tunnel up for sale. The SVR having been offered first refusal, the structure was unsold and later transferred to Highways England Historical Railways Estate when BRBR was abolished from 30 September 2013.<ref>[http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/tunnels/gallery/bridgnorth.html David Rostance, 'Bridgnorth Tunnel', Forgotten Relics website, September 2016] (Retrieved 20 April 2017)</ref><ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/news/brb-residuary-ltd-has-been-abolished 'BRB (Residuary) Ltd has been abolished', Gov.uk, 30 September 2013] (Retrieved 20 April 2017)</ref>
