Jackfield Halt
Jackfield, on the banks of the River Severn, was particularly noted for pottery and tile making. It also served as a riverside port for nearby Broseley, which was situated high above the river. Today the Jackfield Tile Museum is one of the ten museums of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.
Jackfield Halt was one of a number of halts opened in 1934 in a bid to attract more local custom to the line. It consisted of a simple wooden platform with a small wooden shelter.
When opened, the halt was north of the nearby sidings of the Maw & Company tile works. However due to unstable ground, the halt was relocated to a position south of the sidings in March 1954.
