Tipton Five Ways railway station

Tipton Five Ways railway station was a station built by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway, serving the town of Tipton in the western section on the border with Coseley for 88 years from 1853.^[1]

The 'Five Ways' tag was only added in 1950 - to avoid confusion with Tipton Owen Street. It was situated on the Oxford-Worcester-Wolverhampton Line. The station eventually closed in 1962, though the line remained open until 22 September 1968.^[2]

The site of the station was incorporated into the car park of Bean Industries in 1990 and remained part of the factory's land until its closure in October 2005. The station site is currently vacant and overlooks the disused former Newey Goodman factory on one side and the Sedgley Mews housing estate on the other; Sedgley Mews was built in the mid 2000s. The bridge which carried the railway over Sedgley Road West was demolished in 2001.
