History
Opened by the independent Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, the line through All Stretton became a joint Great Western Railway and London, Midland and Scottish Railway line during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The station was then closed by the British Transport Commission.
The site today
Trains continue to run on the Welsh Marches Line. Nothing remains of the halt. The nearest station to All Stretton is now at Church Stretton, a mile to the south.
