[6] The station closed on 9 September 1963 as part of the planned closure of the northern end of the Severn Valley Line which pre-dated the Beeching report.

The station lies on a dismantled section of the Severn Valley Line north of Bridgnorth and has been sold into private hands as a dwelling.

The building is very similar in style to Arley on the Severn Valley Railway and retains many of its original architectural features having been extended in a sympathetic manner.

Two converted British Railways Mark 1 carriages (W25778[7] and W26014[8]) stand on a short length of track between the platforms and are used as holiday accommodation.

The former site of the LNWR Coalport East railway station lies almost directly on the opposite side of the River Severn.
