'''Foley Park''' is an area of [[Kidderminster]] , part of the Foley Park & Hoobrook ward of Wyre Forest District Council, through which the [[The_Severn_Valley_Railway_under_GWR/BR_ownership#Great_Western_Railway:_1872-1947|Kidderminster Loop Line]] runs, . It was formerly home to a large sugar beet processing factory and associated sidings, owned by the British Sugar Corporationand subsequently extensively developed. After the cessation of BR services between [[Bewdley]] and Kidderminster in 1970 and until the SVR [[The development of Kidderminster Town Station|extension to Kidderminster Town Station]] in 1984, Foley Park served as the boundary between the SVR and BR. The name can refer to several railway-related features:
* [[Foley Park Halt]], open between 1905 and 1970.
* [[Foley Park sidings]], serving the British Sugar Corporation and Smethwick Drop Forgings.
* [[Ground Frames at Foley Park]], covering several ground frames related to the sidings and the BR/SVR boundary.
* [[Gravel Pit at Foley Park]] shown in the 1902 Ordnance Survey map.
The area includes the [[Safari Park#Possible_future_station|site of a possible future station]] serving the [[Safari Park]] and developments of the Sugar works site, and mooted from time-to-time for an extension of mainline services.
It also includes the site of the proposed [[Wagon Review Group|Wagon shed]].
