Newnham railway station

Newnham railway station was a station serving the village of Newnham on Severn, Gloucestershire.

History

The South Wales Railway was formed in 1845 to build a line from Chepstow to Fishguard and to Pembroke Dock; an eastern extension to Grange Court was soon added, which would meet a westward extension of the Great Western Railway from Gloucester. The line from Gloucester to Chepstow East opened on 19 September 1851, and included a station at Newnham. The station closed on 5 May 1941, and reopened on 7 October 1946. Final closure came on 2 November 1964.
