Newnham Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newnham Bridge is a village in the parish of Knighton-on-Teme, near Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom.
The village derives part of its name from the bridge over the River Rea.
[edit] Location
Newnham Bridge is situated on the A443 road and the junction of the A456 road between Tenbury Wells and Great Witley, in the valley of the River Teme.
[edit] History & Amenities
The village formerly had a railway station on the Tenbury Line from Bewdley to Woofferton Junction. After the railway closed, the station became a garden centre. This has now closed, but the platforms and buildings are still in place. The neighbouring station yard was recently developed as a housing estate. The name of the station was Newnham Bridge rather than Newnham to avoid confusion with Newnham, Gloucestershire, which also had a GWR station; previously the village was known as Newnham and some maps still show it as such.
