It was built circa 1892 at Swindon.<ref> Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey</ref>
Since arrival at the SVR the van body was cosmetically restored in the compound opposite [[Kidderminster Station signal box (1987 onwards)|Kidderminster signal box]], with the assistance of the [[Friends of Kidderminster Town Station]].
