The site of the former Dawley and Stirchley Railway Station, on the original route of the London & North Western Railway, Coalport branch. It closed to passengers in 1952. This platform was rebuilt in 2011 on the site of the original station. It now lies along the Silkin Way. The Silkin Way is a 14 mile (23 km) walking and cycling route through Telford starting in Bratton and finishing in Coalport. In places the path follows the former Great Western Railway and the dry canal beds of the old Shropshire Canal. The path is named after Lewis Silkin, the Minister responsible for the post-war Labour Government's New Towns Act 1946 and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.
