A number of brick and tile works were situated in Jackfield, around ¾ mile from Ironbridge. These companies made use of the siding which was progressively extended; by 1900 reaching almost ½ mile in length and controlled by three ground frames. There were road level crossings next to both the Middle and South ground frames, the gates of the latter former being wide enough to cross the Severn Valley main line and two lines of sidings.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Vanns (2013)]], pp. 39-40</ref>
Although much goods traffic made use of the siding, there was no provision for passenger traffic until the arrival of the first [[Jackfield Halt]] in 1934. This was located towards Coalport, between the Jackfield siding and that of [[Maw and Co's Siding | Maw & Co]].
