As well as transporting goods station to station, the GWR 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 GWR 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<ref>[https://postimg.cc/kBwMdg9B Advert from the Kington Times on the British Newspaper Archive]</ref>
