Lydbrook Junction railway station

The station was constructed in the hamlet of Stowfield approximately half a mile from Lydbrook and its viaduct on the Severn and Wye Railway.

In 1874 the Severn and Wye Railway opened a branch from Serridge Junction and Cinderford, passenger services commenced in 1875.

It was situated on the south side of the River Wye and consisted of four platforms, (two on each line) a middle sized stone L-shaped station building, a large Great Western Railway style signal box at the end of the R&MR up platform.

It also had a goods yard with two sidings and facilities for coal, livestock and general freight.

The goods shed was just a small structure by the side of the station building on the R&MR down platform.
