In November 1905 the GWRGreat Western Railway approved the extension of the sidings and provision of a wharf for Prestage & Co at Jackfield sidings.[1] The 1947 GWRGreat Western Railway Working Timetable for the Severn Valley Line mentions Doughty and Prestage's Wharf as one of three wharves at the sidings prohibited to engines in the Blue group and all outside cylinder engines.

John Doughty & Sons mined red clay, and Prestage & Co or Prestage and Broseley Tileries Co. mined red clay, tile clay and fireclay in the area.[2]
