These will be constructed in reinforced concrete, but clad from reclaimed bricks taken from the existing retaining wall. The water column will also be relocated as part of the works to facilitate the operation of the railway.<ref>[https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/bridgnorth/2019/04/05/severn-valley-railway-unveils-fresh-plans-for-new-bridgnorth-turntable/ Shrposhire Star, 5 April 2019] (retrieved 6 April 2019)</ref>
