Old railway overbridge at Compton
The bridge which used to carry the old Great Western line from Oxley Junction to Himley and Brierly Hill. The line was originally intended to go to Bridgnorth, but the First World War got in the way of its construction and by the time work resumed, potential passengers had become used to taking the bus service the GWR had laid on in order to - ironically - get passengers used to the idea of making the journey between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth. So the destination of the line changed, but the passenger service was never very successful, lasting only seven years until 1932. Freight traffic lasted longer, but the line closed altogether in 1965 and is now a linear walk known as Valley Park.
