Foley Park Halt was located between [[Kidderminster]] and [[Bewdley]] and opened on 2 January 1905. It was located next to [[Stourport Road Bridge]]; originally situated on the South side of the line but later moved to the North side when [[Foley Park sidings]] were opened in 1925. The extract from Ordnance Survey Map SO87, surveyed 1938 - 1949, published 1951, shows the later location.
The halt had was initially served by a 'pagoda' similar to the one installed at [[Northwood HaltGWR Steam Railmotor | steam railmotor]] in 2006service which began the same day, lasting until 1918.
The halt closed on 6 January 1970 when passenger services ceased between Bewdley and Kidderminster. Little or no trace of the halt is visible today.
