[[File: Kinlet_Ground_Frames_OS.jpg|thumb|300px|right| Kinlet Sidings (OS Map extract, 1888-1913 series)]]The first siding for the Highley Mining Company’s Kinlet Colliery was sanctioned for use by the Board of Trade on 9 October 1895. It was situated a short distance south of [[Borle Viaduct]], and had a single south-facing connection to the main line. The GWR subsequently entered into a contract for coal from the colliery, and in 1899 the sidings were greatly enlarged and connected to a 320 yard loop off the main line, accessed by a ground frame at each end. The Kinlet Sidings North ground frame was located on the left (west of the line) at 142 miles 9 chains, and Kinlet Sidings South ground frame on the right (east of the line) at 142 miles 3.9 chains. The enlarged loop can be seen on the extract from the Ordnance Survey Map 1888-1913 series; the letters SB (for Signal Box) showing the location of the ground frames at each end. The sidings were linked to Highley Colliery by a short [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway#Highley Colliery | colliery railway]]. The New Billingsley Colliery Company applied to the GWR for siding accommodation in 1911. This was provided at the point where Kinlet traffic was already dealt with. The extension of the [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway#Billingsley Colliery | colliery railway]] to the Billingsley colliery opened in 1913 and was 3&frac12; miles in length, with a reversal one mile from the colliery<ref name = “Marshall97”>The Severn Valley Railway, John Marshall (1989), p97.</ref>.
