==== Footbridge outside Bridgnorth Station ====
This view from Bridgnorth Station shows the footbridge connecting the station to New Road. The original footbridge at this location was built by Rubery Owen & Co. Ltd. in 1895, but was deemed beyond repair and demolished by Bridgnorth Council in 1976. It can be seen in photographs 8 and 9 in the gallery of Sellick photographs below. The new footbridge, which was built under the auspices of the Bridgnorth Footbridge Trust, was opened in July 1994. The War Memorial in Bridgnorth High Town’s Castle Gardens can also be seen.

==== Platform 1 ====
Platform 1 originally ended by the water tower, as can be seen in photographs 8 and 9 in the gallery of Sellick photographs below. An extension was added in 1981 using materials recovered from the ex-GWR goods shed at Cradley. There is a noticeable change in the appearance of the platform at that point, which can be seen in this photograph.
