Minsterley railway station was a terminus station in Minsterley, Shropshire, England. The station was opened in 1861 and closed to passengers in 1951.[1] The Minsterley station site has been used as a meat processing factory. A large dairy-related factory also exists on either side of the old trackbed (just before the terminus) and the stationmaster's house has been converted to a private residence.
