Info on the demolition of the halt
[[File:1997-7219 RJS SV 13.jpg|thumb|200px|right| Alveley Halt in 1963, facing Highley ([[Sellick Collection]]).]]
Alveley Halt opened in 1939, serving [[Alveley Colliery]] (the halt did not appear in public timetables). It was situated near the present [[Country Park Halt]], somewhat closer to Highley Station. The platform was of simple construction consisting of a wall of breeze blocks topped by coping stones with an ash surface. In summer 1973, during preparations for the 1974 re-opening of the line between Hampton Loade and Bewdley, the platform face was found to be collapsing towards the line, so the halt was demolished<ref>SVR News 29</ref>. No traces of the halt it remain today.
A [[Alveley Miners Halt level crossing | level crossing]] was situated next to the Halt, beyond the DMU in the Sellick Photograph.
