Bredenbury

Rowden Mill Station This station on the abandoned Bromyard to Leominster railway line has been carefully restored as a private residence and museum. It is not normally open to the public but this picture was taken on a rare open day. Even more remarkable is that the next station along the line at Fencote has had similar treatment. The rest of the railway line had long since been removed!
