Stretford Bridge Halt
There is a wonderful impudence about the remains of the BCR. The trackbed seemed to be saying to me, I'm just like a big railway, only smaller. The three pieces of wood sticking out of the ground here are the remaining platform supports at the first station - very close to Craven Arms, and apparently serving only to show passing passengers on the Marches line that this tiny railway carried passengers! How strange that these wooden supports should have survived over 70 years after closure. The Onny Way footpath passes this way. View looks North-West.
