In February 2016 the Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC) published a proposed revised Local Heritage List, identifying historic buildings and structures which are considered to be of value to the local historic environment although not protected by statutory designations (ie 'listed'). The draft list included many assets on the SVR within the WFDC area, which extends as far as the border with Shropshire, approximately one mile north of Arley.<ref>[http://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/conservation-areas-and-listed-buildings/listed-buildings/local-heritage-list/local-heritage-list-for-the-severn-valley-railway.aspx WFDC website] retrieved 6 May 2016</ref> <ref>[http://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/media/1800178/20160225-draft-lhl-svr.pdf Draft list] Retrieved 6 May 2016</ref> These are listed in the following table, with links to pages on this Wiki where more information may be found.

In February 2016 the Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC) published a proposed revised Local Heritage List for the Severn Valley Railway, identifying historic buildings and structures which are considered to be of value to the local historic environment although not protected by statutory designations (i.e. 'listed'). This was adopted on 9 May 2016. It includes many assets on the SVR within the WFDC area, which extends as far as the border with Shropshire, approximately one mile north of Arley.<ref>[http://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/conservation-areas-and-listed-buildings/listed-buildings/local-heritage-list/local-heritage-list-for-the-severn-valley-railway.aspx WFDC website] (Retrieved 6 May 2016)</ref><ref>[https://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/media/1941459/20160509-Adopted-LHL-for-SVR.pdf Adopted list] (Retrieved 25 August 2020)</ref> These are listed in the following table, with links to pages on this Wiki where more information may be found.

Latest revision as of 15:35, 17 June 2021

In February 2016 the Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC) published a proposed revised Local Heritage List for the Severn Valley Railway, identifying historic buildings and structures which are considered to be of value to the local historic environment although not protected by statutory designations (i.e. 'listed'). This was adopted on 9 May 2016. It includes many assets on the SVRSevern Valley Railway within the WFDC area, which extends as far as the border with Shropshire, approximately one mile north of Arley.[1][2] These are listed in the following table, with links to pages on this Wiki where more information may be found.

At a later date, further Heritage Lists were published for other areas within the Wyre Forest District, with those for Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport including present or former features of the Severn Valley Railway.
