Changes

The village of Jackfield, which lies around &frac34; mile south east of Ironbridge, is notable for its place in the Industrial Revolution. After the arrival of the Severn Valley Railway, '''Jackfield Sidingssidings''' served a number of the local brick and tile works as well as other industries. The sidings were progressively extended; by 1900 reaching almost &frac12; mile in length and containing three ground frames, each controlling the local points and signals. Although much goods traffic made use of the sidings, 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 sidings and the private sidings of [[Maw and Co's Siding | Maw & Co]]<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Vanns (1998)]] pp. 42-45.</ref>.
