WORCESTER, BROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER RAILWAY, a railway in Worcestershire and Herefordshire; from the Worcester and Malvern branch of the West Midland and Bransford-Bridge, 24½ miles westward, past Bromyard, to a junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford at Leominster. It was authorized in 1861, and was to have been completed in June 1869; but power was sought in the spring of 1869 to extend the time of completion.
