Foley Park sidings

A set of sidings, located 1 mile 179 yards from Kidderminster Junction, serving the British Sugar Corporation and Smethwick Drop Forgings, built in 1925. They were located near Foley Park Halt, which was moved from the South side of the line to the North when the sidings opened. The sidings remained in use after the closure of the Kidderminster-Bewdley line on 06/01/1970, finally closing on 25/10/1982.

It is thought that the sidings were accessed by means of a ground frame. See Ground Frames at Foley Park.
