Stanwardine Halt was a minor station located north of Shrewsbury on the GWR's Paddington to Birkenhead main line. It was opened in the 1930s as part of the GWR's halt construction programme, aimed at combatting growing competition from bus services. Today the route is part of the Shrewsbury to Chester line. Nothing now remains on the site.[2]
