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]. 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 site is now a housing estate.
