History
The main line of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway was authorised in 1846, and opened in two stages. The second section, between Ludlow and Hereford, opened on 6 December 1853, and one of the original stations on that stretch was named Dinmore.[1][2][3] It was just to the south of Dinmore Tunnel,[4] which passes under Dinmore Hill.
Dinmore station closed on 9 June 1958,[3] but the line remains open as part of the Welsh Marches Line.
