White plaque № 59271

Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom

This Limestone column is the remains of Tewkesbury's first railway station, built in 1839, terminating the branch line from Ashchurch. Locomotives were forbidden to pass through its doors. It was redundant after the 1864 opening of the Upton line, a new station being built off Station Road. The buil

ding, subsequently used as meeting rooms, was demolished in 1929, leaving track and platform, until the Shopping Precinct was built by 1972.
