'''Cound Halt''' was situated between Berrington and Cressage, around seven miles south of Shrewsbury. It was one of a number of halts opened by the GWR in the 1930s in a bid to attract more local custom to the Severn Valley Branch, although it was probably used more by fishermen that the local residents.

The one inch map extract above gives a good approximation of the position of the halt on the bend in the river, in what became the beer gardens of the Inn after closure of the raiwayrailway. No detailed maps of the area after construction of the halt are available, although this 25 inch OS map extract below was produced in 1927, only a few years before the halt was built. Earlier OS maps show the position of the ferry at two other locations a little further to the east.
