This week’s pictures from the past

Telford Central railway station - about 1985It was very much a case of “work in progress” at Telford Central railway station when this photo was taken.

The photographer was Mike Crabtree of Telford, who e-mailed in his image to us, and he tells us he took the picture looking towards Ketley Bank, which can be seen in the background.

The railway station was opened by Lord Murray - Len Murray, the Hadley-born general secretary of the TUC - on May 12, 1986, so obviously this photo must have been taken a while before that, perhaps in 1985.

Do you remember the station being built?

    This is not the Coalport Ferry, the building on the left hand side of the picture is ‘The Bird in Hand’ public house on Waterloo Street, Ironbridge. With a view of Madeley Wood behind.
