Replaced 'no traces of it remain today' with a description of the traces that remain today.
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 The location of it remain todaythe halt can just be made out as a grass covered piece of raised rough ground immediately adjacent to the still-extant track crossing, on the western side of the line. A piece of GWR bridge rail, presumably originally a post for a sign, still stands vertically here.
A [[Alveley Miners Halt level crossing | level crossing]] was situated next to the Halt, beyond the DMU in the Sellick Photograph.
