Bewdley Tramway

The Bewdley Tramway was a narrow-gauge railway in Worcestershire, England, operational from 1898 to 1939. It mainly served to connect local industries like timber yards and brickworks with the main railway network and the River Severn for transportation. The tramway featured small, locomotive-powered wagons running on custom tracks, facilitating efficient freight movement in the area. Its purpose was to support industrial activity and enhance trade. The tramway was eventually rendered obsolete by road transportation and closed before World War II, leaving behind only remnants and historical interest today.
