Plas-y-Court Halt railway station

Plas-y-Court Halt railway station was a railway station to the west of Wollaston, Shropshire, England. Although popularly claimed to have opened with the railway in 1861, the station actually opened in 1934[1] and closed in 1960.[1][2] The halt was situated to the east side of a gated level crossing and on the south side of the line opposite the crossing keeper's cottage. It was made of timber and had a waiting shelter. The halt has been demolished but the crossing keeper's cottage remains as a private residence.
