Aldridge Station
ALDRIDGE STATION
- At the end of Anchor Road with the junction of Walsall Road and Station Road stood Aldridge Station , long since gone, and the site now utilised for the location of the new Health Centre. Trains ran to Walsall and to Birmingham via Sutton. With traffic congestion as it is today on the roads it would seem to make sense for passenger services to be reintroduced from Aldridge.
