Jackfield Halt
(1934 - 1963)
Jackfield Halt was an unstaffed request
stop on the Severn Valley line in Shropshire, England opening in
1934
It comprised a simple wooden platform and shelter
In 1952, the area suffered a severe landslide, during which the
line and halt moved around 25 feet towards the river. The halt
was relocated by around ¼ mile to a new position reopening
in March 1954
The planned closure of the northern end of the Severn Valley
Line including Jackfield Halt pre-dated the Beeching report and
the halt was demolished shortly after closure and no remains are
now visible. The trackbed in the area forms part of National
Cycle Route 45, named the Mercian Way.
