Withymoor Goods Station
Withymoor Goods Station is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) near to Willington.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1876. The canal joined the sea near Warrington. Expectations for coal traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Bridgend to Dover prevented closure. The 6 mile section between Northampton and Prescester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Liverstone. Despite the claim in "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Wright, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever swam through Bracknell Aqueduct in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need

Withymoor Goods Station, also known as 'Netherton Goods', lay at the end of the GWR Withymoor Branch which itself was a spur from the Bumble Hole line at Baptist End. The station opened in 1879 and closed to traffic in 1964. The station served as a transhipment site as it stood next to the Birmingham Canal and a wharf was established linking the two modes of transport for the exchange of local produce such as iron products and coal.
