A number of the brick and tile works in the Ironbridge Gorge had their own private sidings or made use of the extensive [[Jackfield sidings |sidings at Jackfield]]. [[Maw and Co's Siding| Maw and Co]]'s factory opened in 1883 and became the largest tile works in the world, employing almost 400 people and producing 20 million tiles annually. They had their own privately owned railway wagons and for many years made extensive use of the Severn Valley Branch to transport almost the whole of the factory's output.
