Info added
Both ground frames were locked by the [[Highley signal box|Highley]]-[[Hampton Loade signal box|Hampton Loade]] token. The sidings opened on 30 January 1939 and remained in use for coal traffic after the closure of the line between [[Bewdley]] and [[Shrewsbury]] in 1963, accessed from the Bewdley end. 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.
Both North and South groundframes survived into SVR ownership. This (South) ground frame was fettled for use in [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]]<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/2360466988/permalink/10152660284621989/ Adrian Hassell, private Unofficial SVR Facebook Group, 10 January 2015] (Retrieved 25 September 2020)</ref>.
