This crossing is on the former Kidderminster to Shrewsbury railway line passing through the Ironbridge Gorge. This section of railway is now closed and the track lifted, but this pair of crossing gates (one shown) remains, along with a very short section of track. The crossing is reputed to be the widest in Britain (38 feet gates).
