Eyemore Cutting is located at the south (Bewdley) end of [[Victoria Bridge]]. The site was declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) by English Nature due to the unusual geology, a rare occurrence of coal-bearing mudstones appearing at surface level. Unfortunately this geology has proved less than stable over the years.
In summer 1985, work was deemed necessary to remove some unstable rock. Part of the cutting was strengthened using redundant concrete pads from the former BR yard at Kidderminster<ref>SVR News 79</ref>.
The ground between Victoria Bridge and the entrance to Eyemore Cutting was one of the areas affected the [[2007 Storm Damage | freak storms in June and July 2007]]. The earlier rockfalls occurred in the cutting, just beyond the signal in the picture.
==References==<references />A stream is carried underneath the cutting through a Victorian syphon culvert. This is included as item SVR040* in the [[Wyre Forest District Council Local Heritage List]], which notes it as being an "extremely unusual feature".
