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.
