A set of sidings Alveley Sidings were located between [[Highley]] and [[Hampton Loade]] , and opened on 30 January 1939, built to serve [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway#Alveley Colliery | Alveley Colliery]], which was located across the river. The sidings were opened in the 1930s, and were kept in use beyond the closure of the line between [[Bewdley]] and [[Shrewsbury]] in 1963, accessed from Bewdley. However, the mine became uneconomical to work and was closed in 1969, with the sidings and line North of Bewdley being closed at the same time, as no other source of traffic remained. The sidings were adjacent to a [[Alveley Miners Halt level crossing | halt]] used by miners travelling to the colliery by railway.
