Alveley Halt
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]. The location of the 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 GWRGreat Western Railway bridge rail, presumably originally a post for a sign, still stands vertically here. A level crossing was situated next to the Halt, beyond the DMUDiesel Multiple Unit in the Sellick Photograph.
