St Mary's Halt opened in 1892, was named after the church across the track from the platform. The lattice footbridge was cast in the Sun Foundry, Glasgow, belonging to George Smith & Co. The foundry dates from 1859-1899. It was restored by the Dean Forest Railway and re-opened on 11th March 2019, it is a grade-11 listed bridge it links to St Marys Church which is a 12th century church (look out for a further blog on the church), https://youtu.be/3BLT7D40GXk.
