	Handbook to the Severn Valley Railway
		Sabra, goddess of the Severn, being a prudent, well-conducted maiden, rose with the first streak of morning dawn, and, descending the eastern side of the hill, made choice of the most fertile valleys, whilst as yet her sisters slept.
		The Severn supplies the inhabitants with water, which is purified by means of extensive filter-beds at the upper end of Pitchcroft, and then thrown by machinery to the top of Rainbow Hill, a position sufficiently elevated to ensure its distribution over the upper stories of the highest houses.
		Between the Severn and the Acton Burnell hills fossils of the Caradoc may be found in drift, in old walls by the wayside, and in strata dipping praidly beneath the Wenlock shales.

	Severn Valley Railway
		Nowadays, the initials SVR are not solely part of the specialist jargon of keen railway enthusiasts - although the line is still happily invaded during the popular Enthusiast Weekends.
		There being few roads in the valley, some of the views are only visible from the Railway; the scenery is varied and largely unspoiled, punctuated by the quaint 'olde worlde' charm of country stations, each one giving ready access to local villages and riverside walks.
		The original Severn Valley Railway, which borrowed locos and stock, was absorbed into the GWR in the 1870's, and in 1878 a link line was constructed from Bewdley to Kidderminster.

	Rail Around Birmingham - Severn Valley Railway
		It was not my original intention when planning this site to include the Severn Valley Railway as my primary concern was with the changing face of 'public' railways in the region of study and not on an unnatural 'time capsule' of railway history.
		The Severn Valley Railway, however, has survived due to the efforts of enthusiasts who purchased a significant part of the route in stages from 1967 onwards with the first passenger services being run in 1970.
		The railway is still a work-in-progress with the section from Bewdley to Kidderminster only being reopened in 1984 (interestingly, that section was originally completed some time after the rest of the line).
