Seisdon

Seisdon was a rural district in Staffordshire, England from 1894 to 1974. It lay to the west of Wolverhampton and was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Seisdon rural sanitary district.Villages in the district included Kinver, Wombourne, Codsall, Trysull and Pattingham, as well as Seisdon itself. In 1934, it was expanded to absorb western parts of Kingswinford Rural District, with the eastern, more urban areas of the district being absorbed into Brierley Hill Urban District. At the same time, a section of Penn was removed from Seisdon to be incorporated into the County Borough of Wolverhampton, and other parts of the district were absorbed into Tettenhall Urban District. In 1966, the village of Gospel End was transferred into Seisdon having previously been part of Sedgley Urban District. This reorganisation saw the Sedgley and Brierley Hill urban districts abolished, with most of their territory being incorporated into an enlarged County Borough of Dudley.It continued in existence until 1 April 1974, when it was merged with the southern part of Cannock Rural District to form the South Staffordshire district.

Penn Halt was the smallest of all stops on the Wombourne Branch Line. It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1925 and closed in 1932. The line was single track and the halt was a single platform. It suffered from poor patronage, as with all the stations on the branch. This may have been, in part, due to the somewhat strange positioning of the station by the GWR, several miles from the nearest settlement. All that remains is a lot of bushes and a sign stating where the halt once was. This is now part of the South Staffordshire Railway Walk which covers the trackbed from Tettenhall railway station to Gornal Halt railway station.
