Changes

The first photograph below shows the Tile Works shortly after opening in 1883. The rake of wagons is standing in part of the private siding next to the Severn Valley Branch, which can be seen passing between the wagons and the small signal box that controlled access to the siding. Other wagons are visible in another part of the siding next to the factory, and the tramway overbridge can be seen on the extreme right. The second photograph shows the factory office building, now the entrance to Maws Craft Centre, in 2016. The main road passing off to the right runs through the area occupied by private sidingwhile the trackbed of the former Severn Valley Branch itself, which is further to the right out of view, is now part of the Severn Valley Way footpath and [[National Cycle Route 45]].

The second photograph below of unknown date shows the extent of Maw & Co's factoryTile Works, with the office building referred to pictured above in the distance beyond the bottle kilns. Another rake of wagons can be seen standing in the private siding. The road underbridge in the foreground which led to the hamlet of Tuckies still stands, and now carries the Severn Valley Way footpath and [[National Cycle Route 45]] over the road.

Maw & Co has their own privately owned railway wagons and for many years made extensive use of the Severn Valley Branch to transport almost the whole of the factory's output. The 1922 working timetable showed that it was served by the Daily down daily Down Hartlebury goods train arriving at 4.13pm and the Up Shrewsbury Goods arriving at 3.45pm. The former signal box was replaced by a standard ground frame in 1945, but the siding continued in use and was one of the last in the area to remain open, finally being closed on 18 October 1959<ref name=Vanns/><ref name=SBR/>.
