Neen Sollars railway station was a station on the Tenbury & Bewdley railway in Neen Sollars, Shropshire, England. The station opened on 13 August 1864.[1] A second staggered platform was opened in 1878, reached via a board crossing. This platform was taken out of use on 22 August 1954, the same date on which the station's signal box closed. The station became unstaffed in July 1961[2] and closed for passenger use on 1 August 1962,[1] although goods traffic continued until January 1964.[2]
Although its station building survives much of its distinctive character is lost as a result of many of its original 1864 William Clarke architectural features having been removed.
