create page for Jackfield Halt
Jackfield, on the banks of the River Severn, was particularly noted for pottery and tile making. It also served as a riverside port for nearby [[Ironbridge and Broseley | Broseley]], which was situated high above the river. Today the Jackfield Tile Museum is one of the ten museums of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.
Jackfield Halt was one of a number of halts opened in 1934 in a bid to attract more local custom to the line. It consisted of a simple wooden platform with a small wooden shelter.
When opened, the halt was north of the nearby sidings of the [[Maw and Co's Siding | Maw & Company]] tile works. However due to unstable ground, the halt was relocated to a position south of the sidings in March 1954.
