Milkwall railway station is a disused station on the former Severn and Wye Railway. It served the village of Milkwall, Gloucestershire, England. The station opened in 1875 and was closed only in 1929[1][2] due to lack of passenger use. The line remained in use for goods traffic until the line was closed from Parkend to Coleford.
