Buildwas, officially Buildwas Junction, was situated 28½ miles from [[Hartlebury]] and 12¼ miles from [[Shrewsbury]]. It was an interchange station in open countryside with no passenger access other than by rail, and was built on two levels. The station building was of a similar design to that at [[Bewdley]].
In the early 1960s a second power station, Ironbridge B, was in course of construction. The station closed along with the Severn Valley Line in 1963, and was demolished in 1964 to make way for a new coal handling plant for the power station.
