Change list to be a list, add some links and the Northwood pagoda
A group based at [[Kidderminster]] Town Station with a goal to add those "Oh-so-important" features of a typical GWR stationwhich were not included in the [[The development of Kidderminster Town Station|original 1984 construction]]. The group was started in November 1993 by a number of SVR volunteers, following a day out on the Bluebell Railway. Noting that the ‘Friends of Kingscote’ had done substantial work to improve Kingscote station at no cost to the Bluebell, they quickly formed the Friends of Kidderminster Town with the idea of doing the same for the SVR.<br> Projects complete by the Friends include:-<br> * Much of the GWR style spearpoint fencing around the concourse, <br>* The Port Cochere style canopy at front of the building <br>and <br>* The ornamental roof crestings. (The , the patterns for these cast roof crestings were having been produced at the SVR's pattern shop by copying fragments of originals recovered from Ross-on-Wye)* The GWR 'pagoda' shelter at [[Northwood Halt]] The Friends have a [[Kidderminster Station Fund Shop|Fund Shop]] on the station concourse at Kidderminster.
