Alveley Halt
From SVR Wiki
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[1]. No traces of it remain today.
A level crossing was situated next to the Halt, beyond the DMUDiesel Multiple Unit in the Sellick Photograph.
