Fawley, Hereford, HR1 4SW

Fawley railway station (Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway) is a disused stone built railway station that served the village of King's Caple in Herefordshire. The Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway ran for 22½ miles (36.2 km) linking Hereford and Gloucester via Ross‑on‑Wye. It opened on 1 June 1855 as a 7 ft 1⁄4 in broad gauge line, was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway in 1862, and converted to 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in standard gauge in 1869. Passenger services ceased on 2 November 1964, while freight services between Ross‑on‑Wye and Grange Court continued until 1 November 1965. The station’s closure reflects the decline of rural rail services in the mid‑20th century, leaving behind a quiet, historically rich setting in the heart of Herefordshire.
