Priestfield railway station
This was taken in March 1993 on the site of the old railway station in Priestfield near Bilston. The station was on the junction of the Great Western main line between Wolverhampton Low Level and Birmingham Snow Hill and the former West Midlands Railway to Dudley. The Great Western line curves off to the left, while the West Midlands line goes off into the centre background.
The Midland Metro now occupies the former GWR trackbed, while the Dudley line has completely disappeared, other than a few tell tale signs noticed only by old railway spotters. See also Tim Marshall's photo at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1584465

Line of disused Stourbridge to Wolverhampton (Low Level) line
The line branched off from the Snow Hill line at Priestfield Station and became disused from early 1960s. The bridges at Ward Street and John Street are in-filled though the ends are marked by the brick pilasters and vertical chevrons. Ground level in the cutting has been raised by many metres.
