GWRGreat Western Railway lorry in Bewdley Yard

As well as transporting goods station to station, the GWRGreat Western Railway was also able to collect & deliver goods and parcels to and from local addresses via its Country Lorry Service, Cartage Service or independent carrier.

A 1938 GWRGreat Western Railway publication, 'Towns villages, outlying works etc. served by the Great Western Railway' gives a list of all such places, their distance from the local station and the method of delivery.

The Country Lorry Service at Tenbury started on February 1 1931[1]
