Description
Hagley Station Footbridge is a railway station footbridge built in 1884 by the Great Western Railway. It is constructed from cast and wrought iron. The bridge features decorative cast iron columns with moulded capitals that support a wrought iron lattice girder span and a corrugated iron roof, which has pierced fretwork on the canopy. The spandrels of the bridge display the GWR monogram and the date 1884. The projecting staircases are fitted with cast iron balustrading and timber wainscotting and handrails, creating a U-plan, with a corrugated iron roof covering the entire structure.
The footbridge was erected for the Great Western Railway during the rebuilding of Hagley station in 1884. The railway line was originally opened in 1852 by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway, which later became the West Midland Railway. Hagley station was rebuilt in 1884 after the Great Western Railway took over the West Midland Railway in 1863. This type of footbridge was common in the 1880s, but very few complete examples remain today. The footbridge is noted for being an unaltered example of a dated and monogrammed GWR footbridge.
