A '''Alveley Sidings (South)''' ground frame was a two lever ground frame, located at the South end of [[Alveley Sidings]], allowing access entry to the sidings for Down (northbound) trains and exit from the sidings for Up (southbound) trains. It was [[Alveley Sidings (North) ground frame]] allowed similar movements at the north end of the sidings. 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.
