Looking north from the former level crossing at Ketley station, there is little sign of the trackbed toward Ketley Junction and Wellington. This part of the Wellington-Craven Arms route closed in 1961. Considerable earth has been dumped as the line started to descend into a cutting at this point. Trees on the right mark the boundary of the Aga factory which had its own sidings and still survived in 2008.
