Burlish Halt was situated in the western part of Stourport, just off Bewdley Road, between Stourport and Bewdley stations and 3¼ miles north of Hartlebury. It opened on 31 March 1930 and had a single platform with a pagoda style shelter[1] similar to that at Northwood Halt. It principally served the works of Steatite & Porcelain Products Ltd. which opened in 1929;[2] the works was for a period also served by a private siding accessed from Burlish Branch Junction.
At some time between 1958 and closure of the line, the halt was 'upgraded' and the pagoda replaced by the 'bus shelter' in the RCTS photograph below. The siding ran behind the signal in the photograph, which was used to control the nearly Burlish level crossing.[3]
The site is now a housing estate.
