History

The main line of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway was authorised in 1846, and opened in two stages. The second section, between Ludlow and Hereford, opened on 6 December 1853, and one of the original stations on that stretch was named Dinmore.^[1]^[2]^[3] It was just to the south of Dinmore Tunnel,^[4] which passes under Dinmore Hill.

Dinmore station closed on 9 June 1958,^[3] but the line remains open as part of the Welsh Marches Line.
