Changes

At the opening of the SVR, [[Arley|Arley station]] and the neighbouring village lay in Staffordshire, with the area being transferred to Worcestershire in 1895. The village , which is mainly on the opposite bank of the River Severn from the railway, is named officially '''Upper Arley'''.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Arley Upper Arleyon Wikipedia]</ref> It appears as such on most old Ordnance Survey maps, with although some early maps naming named it Over Arley. However the use of the abbreviated "Arley" appears long established. The manor house was known as Arley Castle (and formerly Arley Hall) until being demolished circa 1960,<ref>[https://www.thedicamillo.com/house/arley-castle-arley-hall/ Arley Castle on Dicamillo]</ref> while Arley Arboretum remains a popular attraction. Edwardian era postcards also referred to "Arley"<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Geens (1985)]], various illustrations</ref>.

[[Highley|Highley Station]] is actually located in the small hamlet of Stanley, around &frac12; mile from the village of Highley itself, although the majority of its business originated from the village and its [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway#Highley Colliery|colliery]]. The [[Timetable: Severn Valley and Tenbury Branch 1866 | 1866 working timetable]] gives the name as "Higley", a spelling also seen on some older maps.
