It's the end of the line, quite literally, at Newport, with the town's silo in the distance. This picture was taken by professional photographer Peter Hayward who worked at the Shropshire Star, The Dawley Observer, and the Newport Advertiser, and was a big trains buff. Although this picture is undated it is probably from around the late 1960s or early 1970s. The picture comes from Paul France of Madeley, to whom Mr Hayward's widow passed on his collection of railway pictures.
