All signals controlled by Bewdley North are of late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post design with enamel arms. Signals 29, 31 and 33 are of unusual centre pivot design, used where a conventional design signal's sighting may be compromised. These have wooden arms, although they are otherwise of the late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post design. Signals 30, 31, 33, 35 and 36 are pre-preservation, although originally signal 30 had a sister arm on its bracket, the place for which can still be seen. Signals 25 and 27 are rare early 20th century GWR miniature arm signals that evolved into the more familiar disc. These followed the signals that swivelled 90 degrees on a vertical access giving a simple red or green plate and lamp indication. These were usually worked in tandem with the point rather than independently by a separate lever.
 
Signals 1 and 37, the Up and Down Distants respectively, are motor worked. Signal 37 is mounted beneath Bewdley South's signal 6, and is electrically slotted.
