Info added
At some time between 1958 and closure of the line, the halt was 'upgraded' and the pagoda replaced by the 'bus shelter' in the RCTS photograph below. The siding ran behind the signal in the photograph, which was used to control the nearby Burlish level crossing.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Mitchell and Smith (2007)]] Pic. 9.</ref>
 
The trackbed of the [[Stourport Branch]] from [[Bewdley]] as far as Burlish Park was acquired by the SVR when the southern extension was purchased. The purchase included the Halt, comprising the platform (made from precast concrete sections) and the footbridge. Both were dismantled and stored at [[Arley]] for many years before being sold.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1067 Peter Pearson and Chris Walton, SVR Forum thread, 21-22 February 2009]</ref>
The site is now a housing estate.
